Default 10mm Spacers - noobish question

So if I wanted to buy a set of 10mm spacers, which set should I get?

I'm installing some 19" RX wheels.

Just make sure they're hubcentric with the correcthub bore and bolt pattern for Lexus/Toyota. You will have to get extended wheel studs as well since I can't seem to find any 10mm spacers with built in studs.

Thanks for you help, without your insight I never would have figured out which brand 10mm to buy.

Thanks, I ended up finding the ICHIBA that are hubcentric with extended studs and available in 10mm. Maybe I'll try to find the 7spoke 19" GS350 wheels as they can apparently be installed w/o spacers. (JAYGS4NYC)

The RX wheels are only 19x7.5 with +35 offset. I would honestly recommend a minimum 20mm spacer if you want it to look proper. As for brand I would take H&R as my first choice or Ichiba as a second choice. For tires I would recommend 225/40R19 if ride height is stock or 225/35R19 if lowered.

You think a 20mm offset in the front too? I can see the rear as the factory 16" wheels aren't close to flush.
