Please no worries. I’ve been busy as well so have not had a chance to call.

I have been in contact and they recommend a simple slip on spacer with longer lug bolts. I took one of my Daughter's off last and confirmed she does have lug bolts and not lug nuts. I am awaiting a price for the spacers as well as the correct lug bolts.

Thanks do you know if they are hub centric? What sizes are you going with?

They said they are hub centric. If I get them I will do 20mm front and 25mm rear. I don't know yet what my Daughter wants to do, so I am on hold at the moment.

Hi, did they ever send you a quote for spacers and bolts? If so do you mind sharing the cost? Thanks

Sorry, my bad. The bolts are $2 a piece and the spacers would be $242 in black or $208 in silver. That is the slip on kind that is still hub centric and requires longer bolts. 20mm front and 25mm rear. My Daughter doesn't want to use the spacers so she is probably going to use the wheels off of her Mustang once she needs tires.

I'm guessing Adaptec? I honestly don't know and didn't ask. The other brand was made in China so I wrote them off completely, Bonos(s) I believe it was. But these are the company Gerf recommended.

Default No rubbing?

That car was leased so I didn't want to lower it, but wanted a flush fitment.
Hi there,

I know this is an old thread, but I am currently in the process of deciding on a new set of wheels and I would love to know if your setup on the RC 2017 F Sport (with 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers) did not give you any issues with rubbing/scrubbing, even in full lock turning. I hope you're still active on this forum and would really appreciate your answer Thanks in advance, Cheers!

I am not active on here anymore, as we got rid of all of our Lexus vehicles. Kind if wished we hadn't but it is what it is. As for any rubbing issues with our old setup? It never rubbed once, full lock or not, turning into a sloped driveway or parking lot or anything. It was actuially the perfect set up for a car we leased and I didn't want to lower. I would definitely do it again if we had the same car and i wanted to keep the stock rims.

I'm not sure if you are still in the market, but I am about to list my forged wheel setup in marketplace. Unfortunately I'm downsizing my fleet so will offer a great price to CL members.

I will shoot you a pm with a link to the Club Lexus Marketplace listings. And if there is no interest, I'm glad to help with width/offset questions on wheel fitment. willtheyfit.com is a great resource.
