Ok even disregarding thread pitch, I cannot find any blank non-adapter style spacers in 60.1mm 5x120. All the applications are for Euro center bores and I'm not really keen to use a hub centric ring + spacer combo.

If I do it, I'll custom order but at this point I'm strongly leaning towards not going to bother and just wait until I want new wheels altogether. The 9.5" rear wheel is pathetic, should have come 10" from the factory minimum.

Someone already linked to a set of slip on spacers with those specs, with thickness options from 3mm to 15mm:

Yeah they are out of stock in 15mm (20mm would be ideal anyway) and I emailed them and they said they have no plans to manufacture even with a submitted and paid order.

edit: I appreciate you trying to help but I've basically decided I'm not gonna bother until someone either starts making hub-centric 60.1mm 5x120 spacers in 20mm or I decide to change out my wheels. Unlikely to custom order any at this point just to use the same width wheel when it already feels inadequate.

This place is in Nevada, I've used their spacers on my LS460 for 4 yrs with no issues. You will need design 2 for your LC and they also have extended bolts that look like they are extra, it's best to call them if you have any questions.

Looks like you are showing Design 3 with the Studs, am I correct?
Why did you recommend Design 2 for the LC? I would assume all 4 designs should work, stud modification might be needed for some designs.

​​​​​​I see no reason why the ones posted above that were used on LS with design 2 would not work. They are hubcentric with a lip for the wheel and are 5x120 cb 60.1mm. That should fit the 2024 LC.

Also, this was recently listed also: https://tinyurl.com/2wr7k4xd

Design 2 is required for 2024+ LC because of the switch to lug bolts instead of studs+lugnut

I've just ordered from this company linked above, Motorsport-tech. I spoke to them and they said they have done spacers for 2024 LCs already, and they have the correct extended lug bolts for stock wheels (R14 ball seat M14x1.5). You need Design2 as noted above and will need 27mm+spacer width for your bolts. I went with 4 20mm spacers so 47mm lug bolts. $337 shipped for everything, $60.50/ea for the spacers ($52 if you don't get them in black, $77 if you want steel instead of aluminum), $3.50/ea for the black lug bolts, $25 shipping.

Will update when they come in and when I mount, they told me hopefully will be machined, anodized, and shipped out by the end of next week.

@Gerf many thanks for the recommendation on that company!!

20mm spacers seem to be the sweet spot for Lexus OEM wheels, at least for me. I made the mistake of putting aftermarket wheels with factory offset on my GX and ended up using 20mm spacers all around. I also installed 20mm spacers on my RC F and would do the same if I kept my LC OEM wheels. In my opinion, it really enhances the look of the car, especially since you're lowering yours.

Yep. I cannot wait to have them sit flush once lowered. I really do not like this tucked look but I love the wheels enough to not spend $4k on a new set just to get the extra inch or two width and flush fitment, so this is the next best option to get the best of both worlds, foregoing the wider wheel dream. As much as I'd love to put a 295 or 305 tire on the back, I can't see myself spending the money to do it when I otherwise love these matte 5 spoke ones

I went for 15mm to try to keep some of the wheel inside the guards, yep I'm a wimp

Excited to see these on since I am considering simply powder coating the two tone "upgraded" wheels bronze and calling it a day, particularly if they come with the good tires.
