Can anyone help give me a quick rundown on spacers for stock awd? I unfortunately have both a terribly high stance and the rears are ridiculously high and pushed in. I'll deal with the height later down the road with possibly some megan ez coilovers later.

For now, just want to push those rears out a bit. Anything I should keep in mind? Any recommendations on brand, type, size?

15-20mm rear, 5-10mm front, IMO.

Thanks Jeff, is this based off the stock 17 x 8.0-in with 225/45VR17that come on the front/rear of the awd's?

I have the same wheels (with 245's instead of 225's in the rear). I put 20mm spacers on the rear and it's very flush, but I don't want to push my front's out that far, so I am thinking of putting 5mm on the front and reducing the rear to 15mm.

I know quite a few people have run the 20mm/10mm setup with success. I do like the 20mm on the rear, but I think I'd like the 15mm more.

but if you have 245's and i have 225's, don't I need more than 25mm to keep it flush? Man I hate my wheels!

The wheels are the same, 17x8, so the wheel will still be in the same spot. I don't think I'd want my wheel out any further, even if it had a smaller tire on it.

This is 20mm rear, no front spacer, I should take another picture that shows it more, but if you look right in line with the edge of the quarter panel, you can just see the wheel/tire in line with it.

^that looks great!
I actually want to buy a set of wheels that will push the front out 15mm and the back out 25mm, will it look flush or too much?

btw the OEM AWD wheels have +45 offset right?

It totally depends on what you like. I think it should fit, but depending on tire size and lowering amount, you could rub. Depends on width of the wheel as well.

The factory 8" wide wheels are +45mm, the 8.5's are +50mm.

I have the same car as you do. Are they 17x8 or 17x8.5?
I am going to use 235/35R19 for all four wheels.

Stock wheel sizes on the 2IS (ISx50 & IS F, USA & Canada)

16x7.0 +45mm (Front & Rear, 06-10 Canada IS250 Standard Wheel)
17x8.0 +45mm (Front & Rear, IS250/350 AWD Only Choice, IS250 (USA All years & Canada 11+)/350 Standard Wheel, Canada 06-10 IS250 Optional Wheel)
18x8.0 +45mm (Front, IS250/350 RWD Optional)
18x8.5 +50mm (Rear, IS250/350 RWD Optional)
19x8.0 +45mm (Front, IS F Standard Wheel)
19x9.0 +55mm (Rear, IS F Standard Wheel)

So if you have 17's, they are 17x8.0 all around.
