This took about 45 minutes. It was actually really easy. wheels look way better with them being pushed out the 15 and 20 mm Front driver side Rear driver side.

I actually have it on the front hood, fenders, bumper and mirrors, but might have to add it to the rear bumper too... I dont thing it sticks out to much, maybe just a little by the lower side of the bumper
OCJACKALL - I am not usually a big fan of wheels being pushed out and such but this looks subtle but enough to make it look a bit more mean - Not sure I like the new lug bolts but could just be the angle of the pic.
Speaking of being mean, you shouldn't give your toes an atomic wedgy!! That looks painful and nasty (lol)

[img]images/icons/icon10.gif[/img]BAHAHAHA, Man, why you gotta do me that like! LOL!! I ran out to take a pic and those sandals were at the door so i went with it! I meant to crop my foot out cause I thought something like this could happen [img]images/icons/icon7.gif[/img] I definitely prefer the look with the spacers, especially once I lower it. I am still trying to decide which springs to go with. I want to hear what peeps think about the Swift springs on an actual IS500....
If I was to do it again, I might get 10 of the studs in 82mm or so, I get a full 7 turns on the ones I have, but wish there was a a couple of threads of the stud sticking all the way out of the lug nuts like the front is

Appreciate the honesty. I did notice your studs were a little sunken in relative to the nuts.
When I had my RC, I was begging to be able to have wheel bolts instead of studs, since I tracked the car, studs were a wear item. Here everyone is converting back to studs!
I see how much less convenient wheel bolts are, but man the pressed in studs that the older knuckles used suck to change out. Requires pulling the rear hubs off. I guess these would be a lot easier to change.
i'm doing some research on studs. not planning on using spacers, so i'm wondering if i should go 44mm or 64mm. anyone happen to know the length of the oem lug bolts? any help would be appreciated.

According to my research, the THREAD length of the OEM bolts is 27mm. Idk the overall length.
that's perfect! that's what i should've asked, thread length. so i should be good to go w/ 44mm. thanks @TipsyTonio
No worries. For reference, ****** includes 42mm bolts with their 15mm spacer and 47mm bolts with their 20mm spacer. That solidified my 27mm initial calculation for stock.
