I just put my B2 spacers on 20mm all around. Man, I'm rubbing like a ****. Small dips, large dips, turning. I'm kinda pisssed off. What do I need to do to resolve the rubbing? Fender mods? Please help!!!

That's odd, I was running 20mm spacers with RS*R Downs and didn't rub at all. What suspensions are you using?

So I just looked at the box on my springs. I have RSR Downs yet they are for RWD applications and I have an AWD.
The part I have is T195D. Could this be the issue. Prior to spacers, the car has been fine.

RS-R Lowering Springs Lexus IS250/IS350 AWD [Down Sus] (2014-2015) T197D Lowers 25 to 30mm Front and 20 to 25mm Rear - Part used to be #T197S but was changed to T197D by RSR in Apr 2014

RS-R Lowering Springs Lexus IS250/IS350 RWD (2014-2015) T195D Lowers 30 to 35mm Front and 25 to 30mm

So the RWD is 5mm lower. Would this cause the rubbing? Maybe this is why I looked so tucked in the rear before lol

Hmm, I'm on RSR Downs too but on a RWD with 20mm all around. They're ebay brand spacers though lol. No rubbing whatsoever - even on harshest of dips.

It could be due to the incorrect springs. Are you sure you have 20mm spacers?

Stock rims, stock tires?

So is it safe to say rsr downs with 20mm spacer on rwd will work without any issues?

Has anyone done 25mm spacers in the front with RSR Downs? 20mm might not be flush enough for the fronts.

They are flush. Wait til it rains. You will have splash up and back all over the front. People with 25mm in the front claim to rub.

UPDATE: from above - purchased ichiba v2 17mm spacers. havent installed yet. I will run the new spacer or Ill get a fender pull. Really like the look of the 20mm in the rear and would like to keep it

I have 25mm fronts with coils on, pretty low, no rubbing. I actually rub on the 20mm rears.
