Default Wheel Spacers

I have a 2020 F Sport, and was curious about the cons of having wheel spacers. Nothing crazy, just to make the rims sit flush with the fender. I’m not willing to jeopardize handling/safety for appearance. If there are no issues with them, what is a good brand to go with?

I would definitely lean towards an adapter that way it’s bolt on and safer. You will need to measure and see what you will need.
here is a good size they make it custom.

No cons. Just make sure you have enough thread to secure your wheel lug nuts and that the spacers are hub centric.

Interesting, it seems that most Toyota vehicles I checked are the same 5X114 / 4.3mm, and a hub diameter of 60.1mm. I suspect most Toyota/Lexus vehicles in a similar class (sedans for instance) would be the same. I configured a set for a late model Camry, and came up with $140 for the set of 4, at about a 1/2 inch spacing addition. Not sure how that would look, or how wide you could go before you start to start to sand off your paint with road debris, but it does appear to be possible.

I'd call them and ask.
