Default GSF Wheel Spacers

Is anyone running wheel spacers on the stock wheels and stock suspension?
I want the wheels to be more flush with the fenders especially in the front.
The car seems to have a bit of reverse rake and i dont like how that looks.
but if i had spacers it will make it look better with the wheels flush to the body

I would be careful with wheel spacers on a Lexus car.
I have had no issues with BMW's and Benz's... but I had wheel spacers from different manufacturers and different sizes installed on my GS460 and had vibrations.

Especially with smaller ones requiring extended studs.

http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm...w=&range_high=

so i ended up going with these for my gsf.
I got 15MM all the way around.
I feel like the rear is very close to being flush so a 15mm will push it out just enough to make it look perfect.
And the 15mm for front will be good enough to close some of that distance between the sidewall of the tire and the fender.

I will be making an install video once i get them and i will post it up here for those of you interested.
The only pain in the *** with these will be switching out the studs but its the best type of spacer to use.

that honestly looks perfect with the 20mm spacers.
I just did the 15mm to be on the safer side.

Not at all. But I also been dealing with them since I’ve worked there. Had a ISF previously that was heavily modded
