Default What size rear spacers with stock wheels?

On my stock '07 IS350, I'd like to space out the rear tires to fill the wheel wells a bit more. I'm running 255's on OEM 18's. Have any others done this and if so, what size pushes them out but, not to the point where I might have fender contact? Also, do I have to cut the factory studs or will the spacers cover them fully?

Thanks - Todd

15mm, bolt-on type. You won't have to cut anything.

Thanks Jeff. Is there any particular brand to buy or stay away from? I see them on eBay all day long but, not sure on quality.

Thanks - Todd

There are a few decent brands of spacers. H&R makes nice ones, but not exactly what I've recommended here (everything under 25mm requires extended studs with their spacers). I've ran Ichiba V2's for about 4 years on my IS (20mm), and I used them on another IS (15mm) as well without issue.

I'm running 15F/20R with extended studs on factory size everything. No issues.

15 F / 20 R seems like the perfect setup.

Thanks,
