Need Help with Spacers
Hey, currently I have aftermarket wheels and I just want them more flush with the car. the current setup is
Offset 35mm
backspacing 5.91
bolt pattern 5-114
245/40/18
22 lbs
what brand of spacer should I buy? All four wheels are the same, I believe it has a hub centric ring already on there to fit the wheel properly.
dont want them to be sticking out, just nicely flush with the body of the car to of course give more of a wider/aggressive look from all sides.
Thank you for all the help guys!

I'm assuming this is for the GS in your signature? Is your car lowered with Springs or Coil overs? With those specs and a small drop, you can probably tuck a 25mm spacer in the rear and a 15-20mm spacer in the front.
The brand depends on how much money you will want to spend. We have plenty of Club Lexus vendors that sell Ichiba V1 & V2 spacers for around $125.00 a pair. The quality is pretty good, but I have heard of the studs breaking or a nut coming loose over time. I'd check them out every few months to make sure they are holding up ok. If you have a lot of cash, go with H&R spacers. I've never heard of anyone having problems with these. I believe the price is much higher $160+ for a pair.Good luck and post pics when you're done. Make sure to order the correct hubcentric spacer size. Ichiba and H&R have the correct models for your GS on their website.

The site of the ibachi said its already hubcentric, but im assuming thats for the orignal wheel and not for aftermarket.
Geez this is confusing lol. I thought this was a simply toss on there and be happy

I noticed you have the ibachi spacers 25mm, is that all the way around? anything special have to be purchased along with them?

Yep, you will also need plastic rings and hubcentric spacers. The hubcentric spacers have a metal bore with a raised "ring". You will need plastic rings because the bore on your wheels are typically not the same size as your spacers. You will need to measure your wheels bore and your spacer hubcentric size. I know it's confusing buy you'll get it. It will be worth it in the long run so you minimize wheel vibration which will probably scare the crap out of you the first few times you drive your vehicle. Usually wheel bores are pretty big to fit many applications. I've seen many up near 73mm. So you will need to get plastic rings that are...lets say 60.1mm to 73mm. Check out this link over at Work Wheels USA. Their prices are a little high and you can probably just pick up some rings on Ebay. This is just for an example: http://workwheelsonline.com/hubcentric-rings.html
