I believe that's what he's asking, if you used any...but since you have a 250...you probably didnt have to

Are you sure? I asked because I am tailoring my wheel spec and I would like to make sure what is the lowest effective offset I can get without rubbing.

welcome to the fourm but why are you posting this question in an ISF rim thread? To answer you question unless you have a return period and want to return your car no you cant do anything about it. At some point that hood was changed. The reasons are many...car accident (maybe minor...maybe major who knows) is the probable answer.

Yeah thats right, according to some posts, you need to use spacers of 5-10mm for the is350.

It depends on what kind of wheels and specs you are using.
