What is that black bit blocking the view? Working backwards 60-15 is 45. You should not rub if you use 15mm spacers. My rear is lowered 1.2" and at ET30 and going over big dips it hits the fenders.

That black bit is my bumper. I got into an accident when it snowed here where I live a while back and just haven't gotten around to painting it yet. But thanks for all your help IDC do you have any suggestions for the best brand and quality of spacers?

I think either H&R it Ichiban. H&R for me.

​​​​​​You have to measure the hub hole of your wheel this will be the OUTER diameter of your spacer. The INNER diameter​ of the spacer will need to be 60.1mm.

Did you end up getting a spacer for the rear? I just bought these same wheels but still need to get tires. You think 235/35 would solve the rubbing in the front? I was also looking at 265/35 for the rear - glad to hear there's no issues there.

I never did get spacers but yes a less wide tire will eliminate scrubbing. I have my set of GS350 F Sport wheels for sale if you know anyone who’s looking for a set I have a full set with tires. Just message me if your interested.

The main reason was because my IS250 is AWD and the setup was a staggered setup which isn’t good for the transmission so and also I wanted a new set of wheels for my taste. I got Avid AV-30 in gunmetal grey with a +30 offset and 255/35R18 all the way around.
