8.5 " wide wheel in the front of my 2008 IS350, Will I need a spacer?
Going 8.5" wide wheel all the way around. I know the rear will work bc the stock wheel size is 8.5" but the front stock is 8.0" Will I need a spacer for a 8.5" in the front?
I'll be running 18x8.5" Trakelite Trak-K wheels +35 offset.

Thanks Doriimon. Do you know for a fact that it will work? I just dont wanna go get my wheels put on and I cant because I possible could need a spacer. Is there anywhere I could go to find out this information? For future reference.

Ok, I did some research. Stock front wheel on 08 IS350 is 8.0" wide +45 offset and the wheels I'm getting are 8.5", half an inch wider with a +35 offset. The difference between offsets is 0.394 inches. So basically almost a half an inch different on the offset as well but in the right direction. The wheel may be half an inch wider but the offset of +35 compensates for that correct? Just want to know that I'm understanding this correctly.

you will not need a spacer. i am running 19" forgestar wheels and my front setup is 19x8.5 with a +30 offset and rear setup is 19x10 with a +38 offset. here is a picture to help and my steering wheel is turned so thats why it looks like its peaking
