Default R-SR Springs / Spacer Size

Hope everyone is well..
New to the forum!
Ordered a set of R-SR lowering springs for my RC350 w/ F Sport.... Noticed that the offset of the Stock wheels are a bit whimpy and was hoping to push out the wheels to give it an aggressive stance....
Has anyone measured what the max size spacers would work for the RC without having to do fender work?!
Thanks guys!

From FR500GT's thread...


RSR springs and wheels spacers installed

So I finally had the time to get my RSR springs installed as well as some hubcentric 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm spacers in the rear. The car sits about 1.5" lower and the front is now level with the rear. As far as the ride goes, it's slightly more firm than stock but a lot less body roll and the car feels more planted. I normally drive in Sport + mode everywhere and I can hardly tell a difference. I'm used to having expensive fully adjustable coilovers but so far I am pleasantly surprised with the ride quality. The car goes back in this week for a good alignment!

I saw this thread but I couldn't find what the brand of the spacers are...

I think I am the only one on here running spacers on the RC F-Sport but you can use any brand as long as they are hubcentric and clear the back of the stock wheel pockets. As stated above in my thread, I am running 15mm front with 20mm rear.
