Default 2015 IS350 AWD - Flush Spacers

Hey all,

I have looked around and can't seem to find a solid answer to the correct spacer sizes needed for the IS 350 AWD to be flush without having any rubbing issues. So far I see 20mm all around for RWD works good but some recommend Front - 25mm and Rear - 15MM. Tires are Front - 225/40, Rear - 255/35.

Anyone with spacers on their AWD and recommendations? I live in Northern VA right outside DC, and so we do have some ****ty roads.

I have an IS 250 AWD, same tires. 25mm front, 20mm rear. I was having rubbing issues in the front but after I got my alignment, never rubbed again. 20mm rear never rubbed, it's perfect. I feel like 25mm is too low, should be higher but I feel like anything higher than 25mm might rub.

I have a 2015 is350 awd f sport as well, and I use 20mm front, 15mm rear, on stock rims/tires.

It looks flush enough for me, with no rubbing.

Do you have any pics to show? I think your set up is what I plan on going with, just want to be sure.

no, the luxury package wheels and the F sport wheels have the same size front and back and same offset (same tire size too). there's a combined thread on flush spacers and i basically used the 25mm front / 20mm rear from someone who had an F sport IS. Not trying to be disrespectful to the above poster, the rear looks fine but the front looks sunken in. Being as flush as possible (without rubbing / fender modification) is my personal preference

Does anyone have a specific brand they suggest for these? I think I will go 20 all around, but it seems like every time I search, I see different suggestions for what is flush/wont rub. Even saw Front - 4, Rear -8 (Huh?!)

Do you have pics of this set up? Did you have any issues with stock rims and the bolts?

No issues, I posted pics of my car above, not sure what you mean "pic of set up". These are the spacers I bought for the rear:
