ISF wheels on IS350
Hello CL community,
I apologize in advance if this had already been posted/shared! I looked under the search tool, but couldn’t find anything specific. Here’s my current dilemma: I have a 2012 IS350 AWD that I’m trying to put on a set of OEM 2009 ISF wheels. They are the 19” staggered set commonly referred as the “blades”. My best friend @Rickna and I put them on car not knowing if they would clear my OEM calipers. Turns out they didn’t. Went and got some 8mm at my local auto parts store. Slapped the wheels back on and the lug nuts wouldn’t bolt on to the studs.
What’s the issue here? Do I need thinner spacers? Perhaps 5mm?? Do I need extended studs? Any suggestions will be appreciated!
Thank you!

Thank you! I’m fully aware of the staggered set & AWD system. This isn’t my fist AWD build on staggered wheels! I’ve done it successfully on 2 other Lexus I owned in the past!

5mm spacers
I got some 5mm hubcentric spacers for my is350c 2010. Did you get a full 6 turns on the lugs with the spacers? The guys who powdercoated my stock 18inch rims said it was the minimum for safety.
thanks

One actually desires the full diameter of the stud which I think is 12mm. So, if it allows 12mm of depth from first contact, I'd feel safe.
