Just purchased a 2018 RC 300 f sport for the Mrs. I figured i would go with Swift springs and 15mm and 20mm H&R spacers and keep the stock 19in wheels. This will be her daily driver so i went easy on the mods. The spring install took me about 3hrs as i took my time and doubled checked all bolts. As for the spacers in the rear they just bolt right on but the fronts you will have to remove the brake caliper and rotor to get to the lug bolts which need to be removed. Luckily Lexus leaves enough space so the longer lug bolts will fit from behind. The OEM lug bolts with a few taps of a hammer and they just popped right out. Since i had the front wheels off i installed Akebono Ceramic low dust brake pads which are very easy to install since the brake caliper does not have to be removed, they just slide in from the back of the caliper. I would like to thank Josh from Meraki Autoworks for the info and the super fast shipping. Here are a few pictures taken with my crappy cell phone.
The pictures do not do the car justice, the RC looks so much better especially from the rear with the lower and wider stance of the wheels.
link to the spacers you used? are they hub centric? I am really digging your setup. I may not lower my wife's as it is a lease and we will flip it next year, but on the next one I just may.

Wait...Sorry I'm a noob but what's the point of spacers with stock wheels? Does something happen when you lower the car with springs? I am considering lowering with Tanabe springs and keeping the stock rims so the spacer thing intrigues me.

the spacers sit the wheels out closer to flush with the fenders. giving it a "wider" stance.
