I am currently on RSR downs with 15 mm Ichiba Spacers all around on my IS250 Fsport AWD. I got the fsport rims that came with the car so they are staggered. I'm starting to consider put 20mm spacers on the front, but I don't want to hassle to have to shave down anything... can others mention there experience with 20mm spacers on the front?

thanks, much appreciated!

So if I get the B2design 15mm spacers I need to shave the studs?

I'm assuming you didn't have to shave your stock studs with the 15mm? I was always under the assumption anything larger than 15mm, there was no need shave anything

when i measured the stud clearance using a sliding caliper, the minimum spacer you'd need to not shave the studs is 18mm. brands do not make a difference. if you're getting 15mm spacers, you need to cut some of the stud off.

i was running 20mm all around on my car before i got volks, no rubbing issues.

I think it's the awd ppl who are having rubbing issues with 20mm
