looks great! my fiancée hates the aftermarket rims and liked the OEM, but I liked the more aggressive stance and look, so this would be a good alternative

I was told by a lexus service tech just now that I should not use wheel spacer, it's not safe. I'm confused now

Last time I brought in my Lexus for service at the dealership I also had them put new tires on the rear. They mounted and balanced the wheels with with my spacers on and they didn't say anything.

I went with version II cuz they are easiest to install since they are direct bolt-on. Version I would require swapping of the studs.

How bad are spacers on the wheel bearings? I hear they can make the wheel bearings wear out prematurely.

I had mine for only a month so its hard to say, but the way they sat on the wheel, it sems that they should last years without problems under normal daily driving and not offroading or something
