Default Spacer to fit IS-F wheels on IS350

Hi! What thickness spacers would be needed to fit IS-F wheels on IS350 to clear front brake calipers? Thanks!

I am going to say a 5mm spacer should do the job. I would get a Hub Centric spacers also. I would PM JoeZ as he test fit this to his car so I am sure he might have some better info for you! You can make them work!!

Good luck!

Thanks passnu2 for quick reply. I did send a PM to JoeZ, but no reply yet. So 5mm would do it. I read somewhere that 12mm spacers needed for OEM IS350 wheels (18x8, same width as IS-F 19x8) on the front to make it flush, so that should also clear the caliper. That is great!

Yes that will work also. 5mm should allow them to clear the caliper. Anything more just gives you more room and will make it more flush with the fender! You will need one in the rear also to make it flush. Another good person to try is JavyLSU. He has a place that can make you custom spacers!

Glad I could be of help!

Sorry gang... I never got that far into the test fitting to bring spacers into the picture..

I just confirmed it would not bolt right up in the front..

The rear was NO ISSUE...
