Default 2014 Lexus IS250 AWD Wheel Spacers

Hello,

This might have been posted but I'm having difficulties finding the correct information. Would someone please point me in the right direction to purchase wheel spacers for both front and rear wheels on a 2014 Lexus IS250 F sport AWD? When searching online, I'm getting results that show spacers for RWD vehicles, and some of the vendors mentioned in the forums no longer have a website...

Thank you!

What kind of spacers are you looking for? Small ones that just fit between the rim and rotor, or thicker ones that bolt to the existing studs, and then the rims bolt to the spacer?

Realistically there is no difference between RWD and AWD with respects to spacers...if they fit on one they will fit on the other.
Basic specs you want to looks for if you're getting the bolt on ones:
Hub bore 60.1mm
Bolt pattern 5x114.3 (or 4.5...could be listed either way)

Ones that bolt to the existing stud. I'm gonna place them on the OEM wheels, so looking for a measurement that gives the car an aggressive look with no rubbing. I don't have any springs installed. Everything is stock. Appreciate your help, thank you!

Commonly folks get 20mm for the front and 15mm for the rear...no issues with rubbing.
Some have successfully fit 20mm all around...and some have had rubbing in the rear. Although at stock height you might be ok.
H&R are pretty popular.

Came across these after I saw your message:

https://www.titanwheelaccessories.co...29228433702935

Would these be a good brand to put on the car?
I'm debating whether I should go with 20mm all around or as you suggested 15mm in rear and 20mm in front.

I'm not sure if anyone had used those specific ones, so hard to comment on quality.
I would check out some other brands to see what the range of pricing is like...will likely give you an idea of what's expensive and what's cheap.
I did notice on the link they didn't mention what the spacer is made of...so hard to say if it's quality material.

15mm would be a sure fit for the rear...20mm seems hit or miss.
If you don't mind buying an extra pair, I'd go with 20mm all around and if any rubbing in the rear, then get the 15's.

Saw a review on those spacers, someone said a stud broke off while driving. I think I'll pass on that brand hahaha.

Yup, I'll go for 20mm all around. Want something that's either flush or pokes out a bit from the vehicle.

Thanks for your help!

I would suggest 15mm all around. 20mm rear definitely doesn't fit on IS350/300 F Sport.

Unfortunately many have fit 20mm spacers on the front with F Sport wheels and even lowered. 20mm on the rear seems to be hit or miss depending on tire make/model.

The 20mm I have up front almost look insufficient, compared to the rear. I wouldn't go any more than 15 on the back but the fronts looks like they can go another 5.

Sorry, meant in the rear. 20mm does fit in front.

I haven't used those spacers, so my opinion on them is going to be worth nothing.

As for the sizing though, for guaranteed fitment with no issues, I would stick with 20mm front and 15mm rear.

Any 1 have any pictures of what it looks like with 15 mm and 20mm in the back do you notice a big difference?
