Sorry for hijacking your thread. So you are asking if the 2023 RC has lug bolts vs lug nuts? Honestly I am not sure just by eyeballing. Maybe someone else can confirm either way.

It's ok, I don't mind. But yeah, that's what I was asking. If anybody with a newer RC knew? According to this site, https://www.wheel-size.com/size/lexus/rc/2023/ they have lug nuts. I am just trying to confirm. I would go pull one of the lugs out of the car if it were here but it is currently getting PPF'd.

I could always just order 15mm and test fit before ordering a second set. I would most likely go with H&R. Used H&R spacers BMW 5 series. They are well made.
Yes the offsets are correct. Even on the 2017 we used to have it was the same. The rear is a lil more in, or at least it was back then. I had Ichiba IS spacers on our old 2017 F Sport with staggered stock wheels and 245/40 front tires and 275/35 rears and it was perfectly flush with 20mm spacers up front and 25mm out back. That car was leased so I didn't want to lower it, but wanted a flush fitment.

So the old style spacers won't work, they are like the redesigned IS and switched to lug bolts instead of nuts. So far I have only found one company that makes any to fit the IS.

Yea I did a search as well. Looks like Bonnos are the only option. Not sure I would trust them but maybe other members can weigh in with their experience Too bad H&R , Eibach don’t make a compatible product.
I may go with custom wheels with more aggressive offsets in the spring.

Yea that is all I came up with too. They look well made, but like you I was hoping someone on here was running them and could chime in. She already has aftermarket wheels from her Mustang that will fit the RC and it will sit almost perfect, but I want her to keep the stock wheels because they look so good. And she would have to buy new tires, as the sizes on them are all wrong.

I may give Gerf’s suggestion a try. I agree the wheels it came with are very nice. Much nicer than what came stock on mine.

It seems that they do make the correct ones for our cars. I will have to call them to get them to do a 20mm front set, but 25mm should work fine in the rear. Thanks Gerf!

That’s good news. Did you also order new stud? Did they help you
deter the right stud lengths? Let’s us know how you like them once you have them. Will wait for your feedback before ordering.

I still haven't had time to call, sorry. Things have been hectic for a few weeks so hopefully I will get to do it later this week or next.
