I have the exact same car and you can use the ones found on amazon. They rode perfect like stock with no vibrations because they were hub centric:

Amazon.com: (2) 20mm 5x114.3 Hubcentric Wheel Spacers for Toyota Camry MR2 Supra Lexus IS250 IS350 (60.1 bore): Automotive Amazon.com: (2) 20mm 5x114.3 Hubcentric Wheel Spacers for Toyota Camry MR2 Supra Lexus IS250 IS350 (60.1 bore): Automotive

Don't worry that if you put in the car details, Amazon tells you it doesn't fit. It fits perfectly and amazon just needs to update their site.

I think the 20mm made worlds of difference in terms of asthetics for this car but I would even consider doing 25.

I ran 15mm front and 20mm rear on my stock F-Sport wheels with the RSR springs and it sat just right. No issues. Just took them off when my new wheels got here.

For AWD I would run a square 15mm all around.

For AWD it doesn't make a difference what the wheel offset is so he can also run different size spacers if we wants to. The only thing that matters is the rolling/overall wheel diameter is the same which spacers do not affect.

My vossens go on this weekend and I'm running a staggered setup with OEM spec diameter. Wont affect the awd system at all.

I agree to run more in the back...i would still do 20 up front and 25 in the back. Guess it depends on how low you drop your car. I clear perfectly fine up front with the tanabe springs.

What size vossen wheels and tires are you installing ? I wanted to install the VFS6 20x9 (38) and 20x10.5 (45) with 235/35ZR20 and 275/30ZR20 (recommended by vossen for the AWD) with Michelin PSS but the 275's are not available at any distributor right now. These tires are 26.5 diameter, factory tires are 26.4

I got the same setup lol! Wheels and tires alike. There are different tire setups you can run to be within the rolling diameter....you have to use a wheel calculator. What color is your car btw?

Atomic silver with black interior. I am considering 245/35ZR20 and 285/30ZR20 Michelin PSS (26.8 front and rear) but the 285's are on backorder for another month. Plus I'm not sure if the 285's will rub. Only other tires I found in the 235 and 275 setup are nitto and Pirelli, but I'm not a fan of either.

Do you have a link to where you bought the Ichiba spacers? I want the 25mm in the rear and maybe the 15mm in the front but I can't find them. I want to install them on my rc350 f sport RWD.

Lot of my customers are running 15 & 20 mm..

I would recommend a good brand of spacers, for safety!
