Default Wheel spacers for stock rims

Hey guys! Just picked up my 2014 IS350 AWD F Sport in Ultra Sonic Blue last night and I want to start modding it. Going from a supercharged lifted Tundra to this car is quite the change haha. I was thinking about keeping the stock rims around for a bit and dropping the car on some RS*R Down springs and spacing the wheels out so they are flush to the fenders. I have been scanning the site for what would be the best spacing configuration for my car and didn't see a dedicated thread to it so I thought we could all post in this one to pool our knowledge. So what spacing do you guys suggest who have done this mod?

Pumped to be here guys!

For a flush look with no (or very minor) rubbing, go for 20mm all around. Ichiba or Project Kics, Specs are 114.3, 60.1 hub. 12x1.5 bolt. Can get them on ebay. I went with 25mm all around and had to do some fender/inner liner adjustments upfront and some metal edge filing in the rear. Still rubbed. 20 should be ok.

Look thru my build thread for 25mm spacer look. It will look somewhat the same with 20mm. There are pics before and after coilovers.

Anything from a 15-25mm will give you a nice flush look.

I've used Akata Spacers on my 2IS F-Sport with the stock wheels and it looked great.

I love how many of us went from lifted Tundras to these cars. Im going to order 20mm front and back spacers this week unless anyone says otherwise.

Cannot wait to see a lowered Ultra Sonic Blue 3iS!!
Consider the RS-R Super Down if you want to make her sit even lower

I put 5mm on mine if you want a more subtle look. You can check my build thread for details.
