Default What Size Spacers 2 Use For 22's?

Anyone have 22's on their 2nd gen with spacers? If so what measurements worked for you spacer wise?...

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm... well, without knowing anything about the wheels (width/offset) or the tires, we can't do anything for you when it comes to offering advice.

You may want to look into the Wheel Size & Offset thread or better yet the Dub Style sub-forum as most people here don't run anything larger than 20s.

Yeah...should I go with another pattern? I thought that the spacers alone would do but studs weren't long enough...I see some places online you can order the spacers/adapters with pre-installed studs?...Just lookin' for a place that has the pre-installed studs and want to be sure I'm getting the correct adapters/spacers for the 22's...


Thanks...

The 745 has a 5x120 bolt pattern and the Lexus has a 114.3 bolt pattern you're going to need adapters. Adapters will push the wheels out. But I'm 90% sure the wheels will stick out too far because the 745 has a low offset and the GS has a mid to high offset.

If you tried to make it work, you'd need smaller tires. Like a 235/30/22
