Default Spacers/stock wheels 2is non f

So i just picked up a 2014 is250 today! non f-sport but im still happy. Now i want to get her down as soon as possible. Leaning toward the Rs*r downs but i dont know what size spacers to go with. I've read up and I see many doing 15mm front and 20mm rear, and others doing 20mm all around. I got a base with 10 spoke wheels, 225/xx/17.

So question is what spacer would be more appropriate, as in i wont have to roll or pull the fenders, after the drop.
Any/all feedback is appreciated. Proud to be a new lexus owner

20mm all around would be good.

Hey I dropped my 2014 IS F Sport with RSR Super Downs. I went with 20 Front and 15 Rear. Rear is perfectly flush. no rub. BUT, I do regret not getting 25 in front. I like the flush looks and the front is a bit tucked in.
H&R Spacers is the way to go.

Do I need spacers if I'm putting RSR Downs on a stock 350 F-Sport?

I got 25mm front, 20mm on back with super downs. I do rub in the front, but the look is amazing. I got circuit sports spacers. All 4 piece for $245 local Socal.

How bad is the rubbing? How frequent?

Just a hiss sound. You won't be able to hear the rubbing with your windows down. It rubs frequently due to road in Koreatown, Other than that, if your at a flat road you won't have any frequent rubbing. Oh and I forgot to mention, I'm down on RSR Super downs

That's good to know! I'm interested in the Downs and I rarely visit Koretown unless it's for AYCE BBQ

So I should be fine with RS*R Downs then?

Oh yea, you should be fine with Downs. If your doing downs, people would probably recommend changing the shoes.

Center hub is 60.1. Look for specific center hub spacers for Lexus.
