RC F Spacers (Merged Threads)
I’ve never used spacers before, but finances don’t allow for new wheels this year... I’ve read this whole thread twice and I’m concerned/confused about what spacers are safest. I daily my RCF, zero track use but lots of 130mph sprints on long stretches of empty road. I get that H&R or Eibach are recommended but neither company has an official fitment for the RCF. Also replacing studs seem logical but adds considerable work/expense.
@ 05RollaXRS, can you share the pn# you used?

I got the IS350 one's since the hub bore size at 60.1 inches is identical to that of the RCF. Make sure they are the ones that don't require replacing the stock bolts. See below for the one's I purchased. I installed them myself and just used some anti-seize on the back side of the spacer (make sure carefully not to let any anti seize get to the studs). I have had mine for about 1.5 years and zero issues.

Anyone have pictures of just 10mm front and rear? I ask this because I picked up 15mm spacers via amazon Vine to review and I honestly don't like how much it pops the rear wheel out. I dislike that the tire is then going to kick crap up on the rear bumper quite easily with how much the tire is now exposed. That and I don't like really seeing the "space" in between the wheel and the hub/spacer. Wheel looks too pushed out to me.
I figured 10mm would be a happy medium for me both front and rear. I'd get the ones that require new studs via H&R. I wouldn't run bolt ons since that's another point of failure to me. The ones I currently have are bolt on and it's easy enough to put them on/off to be able to play with the idea of slightly wider stance.

The stock springs (I can speak for only the TVD rear springs since they are different from the LSD springs) are stiff enough that even under concentrated load on a specific side of the spring, it prevents the outer tires wall from rubbing against the fender liner. However, when you lower the car, it requires more progressive resistance from the springs to avoid rubbing, which is almost impossible since the springs at that point would be too stiff.
