Default Pix of Spacers on IS

Id like to se see pix of spacers on & off ride. I am wondering what is the biggest size spacers that can go on our cars? What spacers can sit the most flush on the car? Is 20mm in front & 25mm the perfect fit?

Looks much better! Can the 25mm fit in rear w/o rubbing though? Will it be safe? As well as having 20mm in front?

25mm will fit in the back with OEM spec wheels with no rubbing, not sure about 20mm in the front.

Safety of the spacer depends on if its a reputable brand, properly torqued and adjusted, and how much thread left on your lugs to torque the nuts with.

Check out the Ichiba spacers. Nice quality spacer. Lots of members use them. Most popular for the IS is 15mm front and 20mm rear. 25mm with work also

Is there any good prices on the H&R spacers? Im still debating on wether to get 20mm or 25mm in rear. I really want that aggressive look but if the 25mm isnt safe for long time usage then I dont want it. I plan to use these for a while bc I dont plan to get aftermarket rims.

I have Project KICS spacers (more like adaptors) 10mm front and 15mm rear on OEM 18" 225/40 and 255/40 tires on x-package suspension. When my trunk is loaded and 3-passengers are in the backseat the rear tires just barely clears the fenders so I'd say 15mm spacer is the most if you will be having a full load in the back seats and the trunk.

Whether our feedback will help you depends on what wheels/tires/suspension you're on?

I've had 5 people in my car along with the trunk filled with luggage for memorial day weekend and the car doesn't even rub, looks are deceiving.
