ISF Wheels + IS350 Front Caliper = Spacer Size?
Anyone know if 5 or 10mm spacers will clear the caliper up front?

i'd imagine 5mm would be fine considering it only scrapes the front caliper
it clears the rear just fine

Oh, is it just scraping? If that's the case, I think i'll get 5mm. I wonder if anyone has actually tried that out on the is350 front calipers.

Yes, the 350 calipers are wider, not bigger.
A 5mm should do it - its only scraping (versus hitting/smashing into smithereens
)

Is 15mm for just the front or for both? My rear spacers are 5mm more than the front to have both about the same.

I have 15mm spacers all around with the is-f wheels, and it is not so aggressive it looks about the same all around.
