Sorry I missed your post...I haven't installed my rear camber arms yet. I'm waiting on Figs to complete the fronts so I can install and align everything at the same time. I just sent Figs a message this past week and he's behind on them but has most of the parts in to start to fabricate. I will update once I have the fronts in my hands and also take pics when we install.

I'd installed 5mm spacers for the front wheels in order for them to clear the brake caliper Henry.. front/rear all shave and trim complete to the wall..may have to add another 10mm to the rear to make them sit Flush.. to bad the front tires are not stretched.. even i'd shave the fender all the way to the wall already but they still rub when making a full turn though..
Now i've to wait until these tires to worn out abit then i can get some stretched tires

^ only reason I can see to run spacers with custom rims is:
1) didn't do your homework
2) maybe had these rims from a previous Lexus (reason why they wont clear our front BBK)
3) purchased used rims (as you stated)
It looks like the OP used 5mm spacers to clear the front BBK so the rims are A-Disc and not R-disc as they should be with our larger OEM from BBK Caliper. So I would have to say its #2 or #3 (my guess).

1st of all.. used wheel are way cheaper than new wheels(of course) trying to save me some money for another project...
2nd of all... the conditions of these wheels like 9/10 to be compare w/new wheels.
3rd of all... added another 5mm spacers wont hurt anything to the driving performing/turning/shaking..
4th of all...And if u wanna resale them in the future = u won't be losing alot $ on the wheels!!
so why i have to buying new wheel for
