Default 20mm Spacers Question

hi everyone (again),

so, i've decided to purchase rsr down springs for the new car but i also want to purchase 20mm spacers as that will bring the wheels flush to the fenders according to pictures that i've searched and looked through here. anyway, i was searching the forum for spacers and a lot of people had mentioned eibach as a great brand, welp, they don't make spacers for the 2017+ IS.

for those of you who are running spacers, and are not using some 30$ amazon/ebay no-name brand, what kind are you using? would anyone be kind enough to share a link -- this is my first time buying spacers, so while i know they're easy to install, i just have no idea what i'm looking for.

thanks, everyone.

i'm trying to remove the stock look of this car as quickly as i'm able. it's driving me nuts.

I’m running the H&R spacers. They are hub centric and you can get the ones specific for our car. @Meraki Autoworks should be able to help you out.

These are the ones i'm running. https://www.evasivemotorsports.com/s...2x15-bore-601/ These are the bolt on ones and you can use existing wheel OEM lugs to tighten it up. These don't use extended studs.

We would run the extended studs one.

We can get you the springs and spacers if you didn't purchase it yet!

Shoot me a text at 213 394 2886.

I had these non-branded 20mm x4 on my car and they worked great. 0 vibrations. Grade 8 hardware.

Okay, sorry to bug everyone again, but can anyone tell me what I'm supposed to torque the spacers to after 60-90 miles have been driven with them on? I have no idea, all I know is that they need to be re-torqued.

Also, shout out to Josh from Meraki Autoworks who went above and beyond when the shop I was having the spacers and springs installed at had difficulties with the spacers. He actually called the shop on my behalf to explain. Absolutely excellent customer service and I can't thank him enough!
