Default Spacer size on OEM 18's

Hello,

My wife's IS250 has the oem 18's with stock tire sizes. Her car is lowered on Espelir springs (.8" drop front and rear)
I ordered 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers. These should fit without any issues correct? I know guys run 15mm/20mm but I dont know if the extra 5mm would effect anything.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I am personally running 15/20 but I think you should be fine with 20/25 as a few other members are running that size I believe.

Thank you.
I searched for a while, ordered the 15/20mm but was sent 20/25mm. I'd rather not go through the hassel of returning the items if they will fit.

I went back and forth for a while and ended up with 15/20 because i got them used at a great price. The specs on the wheels i'm looking at would be closer to the 20/25 and they are suppose to fit no issues.

What are the differences between 15/20 and 20/25? Other than the obvious of course, is one more flush than the other? Is there a difference in year of the car. I have an '08 and have been really looking into doing this to get a stock/flush look.

I was running 15 front 20 rear with my stock 18s. You should be ok with 20 and 25.
