Has anyone installed spacers to make the stock 18s flush on the the is250? They look pretty good on the front so I was thinking maybe just in the rear. If so how big?

 

25mm will do it.. but with a drop

Here just to give you an idea. But it's with 17's

 

I've seen a pic of a white 2IS here with spacers on stock 18s and lowered...looked really nice. Hope the owner posts it up again lol

 

i found another post on the subject they did 15 and 20 and the 20 was flush in the rear but 15 stuck out a little on the front so im thinking 20 rear and 10 front on both my IS and my SC....Hellaflush yo

 

I'd also like to see some flush 18 OEM wheels on our cars /w spacers

 

I'm putting in some 10mm and 15mm spacers this weekend. I will keep you guys posted on how it looks.

 

^ bump for pics

 

yea carlos let us know the direct bolt on spacers are going for 118 on ebay buy it now with free shipping...alsoooooooo it has best offer so i can prolly get hem for 100 each which would mean a 400 dollar ivestment between both cars but it seems worth it.

 

that's not flush at all, you put 25mm already?

 

Here's an older thread with lots of nice pics. He is running 15MM front, 20MM rear on a 350 though:

i would say 20mm is not enough to get those oem rims "flushed".

 

I put the 15mm spacers up front. I had another set of 10mm spacers, but I am probably going to trade/sell them for 20mm for the rears. I also lowered just the front with Espelir ASD springs. So far it rides good and the drop is exactly what I was looking for. Once I install the rear spacers, I will consider putting the lowering springs in the rear as well.

Also, I have the V1 Ichiba spacers. I prefer these to the V2. The longer studs are VERY easy to install in the front. I have no idea about the rears yet. I did not want the bolt-on spacers with lugs so that I would have less chance and less parts for failure.

Also, I have 235/40 tires in the front compared to the stock 225/40. No rubbing that I've noticed as of yet (only driven less than 5 miles).

Here is a pic of what it looks like:

Also, the rusty parts of the rotor were painted black.

 

That's the thread i was trynna find
