ISF Wheels + IS350 Front Caliper = Spacer Size?
Anyone know if 5 or 10mm spacers will clear the caliper up front?

i'd imagine 5mm would be fine considering it only scrapes the front caliper

Oh, is it just scraping? If that's the case, I think i'll get 5mm. I wonder if anyone has actually tried that out on the is350 front calipers.

Yes, the 350 calipers are wider, not bigger.
A 5mm should do it - its only scraping (versus hitting/smashing into smithereens
)

Is 15mm for just the front or for both? My rear spacers are 5mm more than the front to have both about the same.

I have 15mm spacers all around with the is-f wheels, and it is not so aggressive it looks about the same all around.
