There are so many threads with these words in them so it would take hours to find my answer lol. If anyone can answer my quick question id really appreciate it

I have my H&R lowering springs, to be isntalled first week of april (car is stored right now) and Im on the verge of buying ichiba v2 spacers. Im thinkning 20mm rear and 15 mm front, as it seems this is the flush look for oem 18s.

Will the drop/spacers combination make for a lot of rubbing. Ive seen ppl say there are SLIGHT rubbing issues with spacers alone, id imagine with the drop it would be worse, but can anyone confirm or deny? Thanks so much

I when I had my IS on the stock 18" f sport wheels I had 15mm spacers and no rubbing. And that was with the Road Magnet 2" in drop.

To be safe, I would get 15mm front and back. With 20mm in the back it might rub on dips and full load. Im on h&rs with 15mm in the back on stock isp modes. My Vossens will be in this week. Also look into B2 Auto design spacers. They're a vendor here with fast shipping and its a good product imo. http://www.b2autodesigns.com/index.p...c2f72501f3257f

theres a very minimal difference in price from ichiba v2s off ebay. not enough to justify going with a brand i never heard of. gonna stick with the ichibas

But there is a diference in the spacer. The B2designs spacers are a 1pc design. Like the H&R spacer. Ichiba are two pc. Also the lug nuts supplied are a stronger meterial. I have had customers strip out the Ichiba lug nuts..

btw, the description on the b2 spacers on ur website clearly says 2 peice

The Ichiba's have a seperate hub ring. So you have the spacer and the hub ring.


Thanks for the heads up on the description on my site. Fixed it. .

Is it beneficial at all to have a one piece spacer? They are still hubcentric even though they are one piece right?

It is beneficial to have a one piece spacer. I have seen and had customers say that the hub ring move or float around. This could cause wheel vibration. The b2designs spacers are machined to match the hub of the Lexus. So perfect fit.
