Hello. I prepare my 2007 GS35 AWD for wheels spacers. (front 15MM and back 20MM) I have factory 18 inch wheels 235/45 r18. Can I go more then that with the spacers? I think the H&R or Ichiba spaces are the best.

What do you think guys?

I've used Ichiba V2 15mm on my rear with stocks for about 5k miles and its been fine. As others will tell you, use at your own risk. Make sure you torque them down on initial install then check them a week later. If i was an aggressive driver, I wouldn't do it. The studs/nuts on the Ichiba were hard to get off for me. Good luck!

For sure I will use thread locker, one drop on each stud. this is the best think to do. Ichiba spacers are expensive but very good.

Heads up...its not the nut that comes loose from the stud, but studs breaking entirely is the complaint.
