From my gallery: (sorry I don't have any with the front wheels straight, but they're perfectly flush with the inside wall of the fender)

If anyone is interested, I've got a set of these adapters (12mm & 17mm) just like JavyLSU's for sale over in the classifieds. I ordered a set from Fred. Great service. Fantastic product. But the wife nearly castrated me when she head how much I spent to "stick your wheels out an inch!!!!"..... Trying to keep the peace, you know.

Maybe you should advertise your wife for sale instead.

can any one help me out ?
I have rims that i want to put on my IS but the problem is the offset is too low - 20mm front 22mm rear - they are 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. I was wondering if there were any spacers available that would correct this problem and give me good fitment? Thanks

umm... spacers will push the wheel out and therefore make the offset even lower. looks at this thread for aggressive fitment: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=288937

On stock wheels and tires, you might rub just a tiny bit - when you get down to these increments, it really depends on your car. Even if it does rub, it won't be much - and that's nothing a heat gun can't fix...

Newbie here...

I want to put the stock 18x8s on my AWD 250, what spacers should I run to make them flush in the front and rear without ANY rubbing at all?

There is no spacer that will make the front flush without some rubbing. Even with an effective offset of 35 mm (not flush), there are still some situations that will generate a tiny bit of rubbing.
