ahh ok. I have a IS300 AWD, do you know if the is350 f sport staggered set up wheels are compatible with the AWDs?
The general consensus is AWD should have a square setup; however plenty of people run staggered on AWD with no issues. As long as the outside tire diameter is the same or really close you won’t have any problems.

Lexus uses the same staggered setup on the AWD F SPORT as the RWD F SPORT. It's not a cause for concern.

To further clarify this, in case it isn't obvious, the IS 300 AWD and IS 350 AWD have the same drivetrain. So, if a staggered set of tires will work for one, it'll work for the other.
thanks for the replies. looking at the website spec, it looks like the AWD f sport design have squared set up. However, the 350 F sport with F sport tuned front and rear suspension have a staggered set up. from google: A square setup is usually the most practical option for all-wheel drive (AWD) cars, but some say that staggered setups are okay if the overall diameter is maintained. However, others say that a staggered setup can cause complications with AWD systems because the front tires move faster and have less surface area when they are smaller than the rear tires. This can cause the AWD system to think the front tires are slipping and cut power

The bold underlined text is the key point. My 2014 non-F Sport AWD has had staggered since day one (except its square during winters). Diameter within X% is tolerated by the system.
None of the templates listed on the parts sites are for the F-Sport spoiler. I bought both part numbers and neither was correct so I had to make my own template with poster board.
what site or place where you able to order from this will be my first build
A lot of the pieces came from Lexus of South Atlanta (they're the parts distributor down here) so they actually have better prices online than most dealers and I was able to do local pick-up and save on shipping. Granted "local" is a very generous term when it comes to going to the other side of Atlanta.
