Hi guys. I need help. I got an is350 & while I was talking on the phone the vendor representative told me I would need brake caliper spacers if I were to get the wheels since my calipers are wide. Just wondering what would be the best fitment? 5mm? 10mm? 15mm? The rims size I'm aiming for are 19x9.5 +22 front & 19x11 +25 rear

 

Also what brand & website/store should get some quality spacers for cheap? I live in SoCal. Your inputs will help. Thanks.

 

what wheel are you talking about? as i know you won't have problem with caliper with + 22 in the front but it depends on what brand you're getting

 

Varrstoen ES1. What wheels do you have? Required any spacers?

 

You should ask the vendor what size of spacer in order to clear it. 9.5 +22 11 +25 is aggressive. Even with a 5mm spacers up front will be +17 required fender mod might require tab relocation GL

 

10 mm spacer to clear the fronts. I had the same wheels at one point and had clearance issues.

 

Really? I was thinking with going with 5mm spacers since the vendor recommended them. Did you ever try those & what clearance issues?

 

Most definitely. I'm planning on rolling my front and rear fenders & cutting a little fender liner out. Also I'll be modifying my bumper tab since I'll be lowering my car on coils with a rear camber kit & spc's on the front after.

 

its more the disk size more than width and offsets. ive never really heard of any varrstoen having an issue clearing a bbk cause they all have the same higher faces. but if i was you, your best bet would be just get the wheels if those are really what you want. then do a test fit to determine what size spacer you need.

that way at least you wont be buying too big of a spacer,or too small.. or might not even need a spacer at all

 

I stand corrected . My experience was with varrstoen es2, not the es1.

I had to buy 10mm spacer to clear the front caliper but didn't like how far the front tire stuck out so I'm back to stock wheels. Do a research on my threads posted and you'll find the discussion regarding clearance on my wheels. My apologies for the confusion regarding the different wheel types.

 

That's what I'm thinking. I've already got the wheels, picking them up in the shop this sat. After, I'm taking them to a tire shop like american tires, they should help me out on spacers

Thanks for clearing that up & being honest. I'll check them out.

 

Got my wheels installed today! 5mm spacers definitely cleared my brake calipers perfectly

 

Nice Good job.
