Beware of Ichibas.. Thread not too long ago stating it cracked. Go with H&R or Project Kics. My friends use them and they're great quality

I was also looking for a pair of 10mm spacers for my car but noticed that I can't find hubcentric project kics.

Do they make them hubcentric?

Can you still use spacers if u only drop your car 1 in or 1.5 inches? I was thinking bout doing spacers on my IS350 Oem 18in wheels, but someone told me theres no point b/c the drop im doing isnt significant? Can someone please clarify..

I've got Tein Htech with Front 10mm and Rear 15mm spacers...

If you really want them to look flush, than go for 15mm front and 20mm/25mm rear

just get a piece of string with a weight at the end, tape it to the middle part of the fender so it hangs over the face of the rim, get a ruler measure the distance between the rim and string to see what size spacer you need. the spacer size depends on what kind of drop you have, different heights->different camber->different size spacer to be flush
