they push the wheels out further so they sit flusher with the fender. It gives it a more aggressive look.

Is adding spacers just for atheistic reasons or does it help road handling and traction since it's now wider. If you add spacers, do you do it to both front and rear?

Spacers are from a guy in Cali, 12mm front 17mm rear, wheel/hub centric=no vidrations at 130-140mph! Yes, you do need longer studs(ARPs for the IS 300 work) Studs need to be cut about 1/2" front and 3/4" rear. Check out javyLSU he has pics of them and contact info in his thread.

So Im taking a guess that lowering the IS is not going to give it a flush look without the spacers?

Correct, lowering will give a neg camber(that's good) but as a result the wheels/tires get sucked in and look abnormal.
