Will A 1.6"drop Be Too Much On A 96 Es300 W/18" Is350 Wheels?
ordered all new strut mounts and kyb shocks. soon to order the 18" IS350 replica wheels 18x8 +45. im going to order some kics spacers maybe 10mm to flush with outer fender.im def going to do a fender roll to be on the safe side. i saw some 1.6" vogtland springs and was wondering if this would take care of all the wheel gap or would it be too much. i want to do everything @ one time to get it over with. please all info is appreciated.
if the 10mm spacers are too much or not enough please let me know.

Spacers like that are very unsafe. If they break your wheels will fall off. Your best bet is to get the longer studs and spacers. About a drop no I do not have a drop yet I was going to do a 1" drop if there is money left from the rebuild and HID retrofit.

a lot of drift cars and 240's around here in VA run them, no one has ever had any problems and they track the **** out of their cars too. im getting some for my 240 too to space out the rear some more.

Just use some logic with this if it breaks what will happen. Trust me its much safer the other way. Its not like a longer stud and spacer where if one breaks you still have 5 more.

no coilovers. its my wifes car and she hates the way my jic coilovers feel on the nissan. im sure 1.6" will take away the wheel gap. that is my only concern.
i do see where your coming from chaos, but kics are a reputable company. all the drift sites sell them. ive had this same conversation w/nissan gurus and they about chewed my head off. kics spacers do not break. 135.00 pr they better not. lol

If I recall correctly, Mackin Industries makes Kics spacers. Same distributor as Rays Engineering and other great products. I have a lot of faith in Mackin.
I've had 25mm bolt on Kics spacers on my stock GS wheels for a while and they were fine. Just make sure they bolts are torqued. I doubt your wife does any crazy driving so you guys should be fine. I don't recommend rolling the fenders BTW. Either go a tire size or two down or shave the fenders. Too many things can go wrong with rolling.

Ah I didn't know it was for your wife. In that case, get springs and tell her to take it easy on the dips and driveways.
