I installed 15mm wheel spacers a few days ago after looking at a bunch of cars on this forum that had them. I obviously liked the look but after installing them on my car I wasn't sure. I have to admit that it is growing on me though. I would like to know what you think. I can take it.

Looks better with the spacers. IMO, the more flush the tires are to the fender, the better it looks

Looks good....is it really a 15mm spacer?? what is the offset on those rims? I would have though that was a 10mm spacer from the pic...

what spacers did you end up with??

I believe the stock rims have higher offset which is 50 front and 55 rear.. I doubt the 15mm spacers stick the rims out more.. SO the front is 35 and the rear is 40.. I can see the stock rims stick out.. Why u worry about it?

Yes, 15mm. They are Ichiba spacers. Not sure of the offset of the ISP's but I'll try and find out.

not on the IS350:
18" RWD :
Front: 225/40/18, 18x8, +45mm
Rear: 255/40/18, 18x8.5, +50mm

Yes let me know please. I am going to be selling my car and leaving the lowering springs on it. It may be a few more months before it goes and I want it to look good while I still have it. I was going to order 10mm, same brand, front and rear? That would put me close to the same offset that my aftermarket rims where. Unless I am missing something If I can push them with 15mm and not replace tires I will do that.

Thanks!

Remove the front ones and drive it with just the rear ones on. I bet you'll like it better. The car will feel the most stable then.

Yeah I saw in other threads where you might be selling/trading your car. You have a really good looking car. Your question might be a tough one. I bought the car new with the ISP's on it and all the window stciker states is "ISP Mode wheel upgrade". Looking at the Sewel website http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/par...l.asp?id=87811 it shows 18x8 fronts at 45mm and the 18 8.5 rears at 50mm. I ended up getting these spacers http://http://store.ichibausa.com/15albowhsp10.html because the installation was easier (no new studs) and in the event I didn't like them I could take them right back off. I hope that helps.

You think it will look good even with the stock space in the front? I read a ton of threads trying to figure out what size to get. I had already bought the 15mm for the front/back but then ended up reading a thread where someone (I think maybe you) said use 10mm in front with stock wheels. I thought oh great, did I by the right size for the front. Is it just a ride quality thing removing the fronts or you think the look is better as well?

Thanks for the input.
