I just lowered my 2015 IS250 on RSR Downs with 15mm spacers (front and rear). I do have slight rubbing on big dips.

Sasnuke

Are you on stock wheels or something bigger?

Rufio904

Stock wheels.

Sasnuke

Which wheels are rubbing? If you know.
With 15mm spacers on the back you should be fine with Downs.
I can't imagine the fronts are rubbing.

Rufio904

Passenger rear and you are correct the front are not rubbing.

Sasnuke

Some have reported rubbing with spacers on stock wheels, but it seems hit and miss...more so miss as most seem to be ok.
If it's just one side then likely its just an anomaly as to how the wheel sits with relation to the body.

No sure if there is an easy answer here.
Maybe a slight pull of the fender might make some room if it's only slightly rubbing.

Hey CL,

So I was just curious and wanted to put it out there to get feedback.
This thread is great with everyone posting their set up and advising others of painpoints, proper fitment, rubbing etc.

I am currently driving a 2015 Lexus IS250 AWD Fsport and I am considering buying RS*R DOWN Springs and not the Super downs
I want to close the gap, but not have too low.

My set up for my summer wheels go as follows:
Tires: Toyo Proxes 4 Plus
Rims: Vossen CV3R

Front: 235/35/R19 (19x8.5 +32 offset)
Rear: 265/30/R19 (19x10 +45 offset)

So if I install the RS*R downs, will my tires be rubbing?

Thanks in advance for your feedback/help!
(I've attached a picture of my car with my rims on riding on stock height...looking like a monster truck currently haha)

Nice looking car👍 You won’t have any problem. I’m running the same setup (except my rear offset is +42) on my AWD.

Thanks @Napalvr ! Puts my mind more at ease now.
Now to get those springs and install them asap!

Here’s mine with RSR downs

Sasnuke

You'll be fine with the Downs.
You have some nice big openings in the rim...might need to do a 350 front brake conversion...just saying

@Napalvr Looks good and a really clean set up! that's the exact drop I was looking for.

wperena

I couldn't agree more @Sasnuke it's definitely on the "to do" list

wperena

Just wanted to share a few pics of my IS with the RS*R downs installed.
It's the exact drop I wanted, wish I could go lower but roads and winters in Toronto are rough.
Thanks to the other CL members for providing me feedback prior to the install.
Enjoy!

Sasnuke

Looking good

Definitely gonna need that 350 front brake conversion now
