Question on wheel spacers
So I've seen some negatives on spacers, mainly in relation to the bolts not being as durable as oem and breaking. I know most that use them are doing it to widen wheel stance, anywhere from 3mm to 30mm+. My issue is the new wheels I bought clear calipers while driving straight and turns are ok, but when I brake into turns, I can hear it clipping calipers. I was planning on getting just a 3mm spacer disc, without the stud bolts, to give it a bit more clearance. Any concerns using them? Seems most negatives are on the bolts. TIA for any feedback.

I use 15mm front 25mm rear. Works perfect, no wobble, shakes, nothing. Don't believe alot of the stuff you "Hear". Just make sure the spacers are hubcentric and come with built in studs. The extended stud style spacer is where trouble lies

I have used 25mm with built in studs on OEM wheels = wobble
I have used 20mm with built in studs on OEM wheels = wobble
I have used 10mm with extended studs on 19" wheels = wobble
On all instances I removed the spacers and car ran smooth as butter. I am now running my 19" with no spacers and I'm great!
NOTE: All spacers were Ichiba brand and installed by local Lexus Dealer.
