Has anyone had any problems with their spacers? I'm kinda scared to put on my spacers.

I'm thinking about adding a spacer on the front wheel but I've got a 20" so i don't see any info about it in here.
its a 20x9 with a 235/35/20 tires and i didn't lower it.. yet. is there a disadvantage in installing those?

Glad that people are discussing about this subject for people who plan to keep their stock F-Sport rims.
Got another question though, if you use the RS-R half down, what would be the ideal spacers to use?

I want to see a 3is with spacers in person. I wonder if it makes that much of a difference. $200+ upgrade.

What's the consensus on spacer sizing when dropped on RSR SuperDowns? I see most of these posts are for fairly mild to decent drops. The SuperDowns are an aggressive drop in height. Any help?

Also, question in general for all who have spacers:

- I've heard about issues with them, ie, vibration, a feeling of disconnect from the road, throwing up water when it's raining. Can anyone comment on their experience please?

Thanks.

I was experiencing a few issues when I installed 25mm front and 20mm rear spacers on my is350 lowered on rsr downs. I had a slight disconnected feeling that I notcied immediately after the spacer install so its not from the springs... I'm used to it now though. It just looks too good with spacers so I won't be removing it. I have not experienced any rubbing at all...

Default Need HELP with SPACERS

Good afternoon Gentlemen,

I have a couple questions for you guys. I'm a green bean when it comes to spaces. However, I want to do spacers to my IS 350 F sport it looks so sexy with flush wheels. I have stock F sport wheels and haven't lowered it. What company do you prefer for spacers and do i need to add longer studs such as high tensile steel studs or will the stock manufacture work? I am think of 15mm all around. Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for you time!

Have a wonderful day,

Austin Wilde
