Wheel Spacers
I recently lowered my 2018 LC 500 using the RSR lowering springs and I like the way the car sits except the wheels need to be pushed out about 1". ( I still have the factory wheels and like them) I ordered 20mm wheel spacers from Akata and when they arrived I test fitted them and the factory studs keep the spacer from mounting flush. I called Akata and was told the best solution is to replace the factory studs with ones that are 20mm longer. I called a reputable tire/wheel shop and the owner validated that would be an acceptale fix. So my question is where would I get longer studs....and I am open to any other suggestions.
Thanks
Thanks

You more than likely bought spacers for cars with M12 size wheel studs. You need M14 size wheel studs (unique to LS and LC model cars).
^^^^With regards to stud dimensions, that's exactly what I said
However, the bolt circle (LC & LS) is different from other Lexus models with 12mm. I don't think the spacer is the issue. I'm certainly not a proponent of wheel spacers
But, for adequate thread coverage, longer studs are the answer.
