yes you can. Make sure you can get 8 turns out of your lug nut to confirm.

you'll need a 10mm in the rear to be flushed with fenders without fender mods

Just make sure if you go larger than 5mm you get extended studs too.

Any thicker than 5mm and you start to rick your safety; either not enough turns of the lug nut on the stud or getting a studded spacer that is prone to crack/fail. Either go with a 5mm, or get IS300 extended ARP lug studs and run whatever spacer you want.

GL, be safe!
