Options Auto Salon (www.optauto.com) seemed to have the best pricing but unfortunately didn't have them in stock when I was trying to order them. I purchased mine from ECS Tuning (www.ecstuning.com). Both companies seemed to offer good customer service.

Hi dsimo,
I just saw the pics of your car with the wheel spacers:

I got a few questions:
Is the 25mm spacer on all 4 wheels?
Is the car lower at all, or is it stock height?
I absolutely loves how your car look, I want to do the same. As I get older, I prefer the OEM look more then aftermarket looks, so I want to keep the OEM wheels, just get wider tires with taller sidewall, then get spacer to push the wheels out to be flush with the fender. Which is exactly what you did, it looks perfect!
Thanks in advance!!

Actually, I recommend 15-20mm up front and 25mm in the rear. I have 25mm all around but I think the fronts are just a little too far out (I'm not sure I had the front spacers installed at the point of that photo). With the 25mm in front I get a rare rubbing of the tire against the inner fender when I hit a large dip at a highway speeds.
I'm using the 25mm up front only for convenience because they simply bolt-on. The H&R spacers that are less than 25mm require replacing the wheel bolts with longer bolts are that are supplied with the H&R spacers. I never seriously investigated replacing the bolts so I don't know what effort/cost it would incur.
I've had mine installed for years now without problem. I have the Lexus dealer check them every 5k miles at each service.
And of course I recommend using only a high quality spacer like the ones from H&R.

...and, no, it's not lowered or modified in any other way. BTW, I still get TONS of compliments on the car. I don't know why our SC wasn't designed with a wider track.
