I bought it from a friend who had a shop custom fabricate one with the built in studs. Drove on it for 30k miles with no issues then I sold it. To be honest it makes no difference for V1 or V2 if the studs are provided by the same brand. But for long term driving I would say the ones with the extended studs... but if the studs are made correctly then it really doesn't matter. Just make sure you have the right size hub rings with your wheels.

18x8 +40m on 225/40/18 (factory recommend?) all around with spacer in the back... lowered on F sport springs

Default 2013 is350c f sport. Put in spacers and need advice

1st time posting here, sorry if this the wrong place to ask.

So i have a 2013 IS350c F sport. And i installed 1 inch spacers all around. Wondering if i need to take them back off or what. I have 255/40 ZR 18 tires in the back and 225/40 ZR 18 in the front. I am not rubbing in the front


anywhere on turns agressive driving and all. And the handling is amazing. But i notices speed bumbs/pot holes. Or just anything that makes back end bounce alittle and it rubs fender to tire. Do i put a little spacer in the suspension to lift it alittle ao it doesnt rub. Or .... this is where i need ideas. After market rims (kong) if that matters.

Looks like you have a bit too much spacer on the back. Try 20 or 15mm instead. That should give you extra clearance and will prevent from rubbing on dips.
Easiest way to find out the thickness is by stacking up washers.
