I looked today. Yes, the holes are present in the BBS/Lexus wheels.

Sooooo, are the spacers or maybe "Wheeladapters" going to be a hazard on the F or not? What are you guy's thinking?

I'd really like to do it, but I, too, I am slightly concerned by the spacers on 400+HP, burnout friendly car.

Also, my previous experience messing with the wheels was not really positive(...)

Not spacers, it was tracked down to hub centric rings, they had a little flange that upon getting pressed between the rims and the hub got deformed, some of the nuts got loose, starting a wheel shake that at 70MPH broke all the studs in few seconds... No harm other than the wallet...

Member "CHIKKEN" is running H&R's. Check what MM he used, because they were pretty flush looking to me.
