Default Make $20 - Do 5MM Spacers clear IS350 Calipers (ISF Wheels)?

I bought ISF wheels, and I wanted to get spacers to clear the front IS350 calipers. Anyone know if 5mm, or 10mm will clear?

Well, The IS350 brakes, while they are not "bbk", are actually wider than the brembos on the F ... not sure about stoptech/F-sport or the brembo GT kit, you would have to find out how wide they are and compare it to the width of the stock ISF brakes.

I'll even paypal $20 to anyone that can answer the exact spacer I need to clear IS350 calipers. I don't want to buy a size and it doesn't work. I want closest that'll work. Anyone know the caliper width ISF vs IS350? Maybe that can be used to measure the spacer size i need.

JoeZ tested fitted this.

5mm will probably work.

If you have the wheels, can you not measure directly? Then get some cardboard, cut some holes for the bolts, and see how thick a cardboard pseudo-spacer would need to be. Even pads of mini post-it notes would be ok, they aren't very compressible, and you could just stick them on around the hub.

Do I get $20 now?
