Default Looking Into Spacers for my F-Sport - What Size? Dangerous?

Hey guys,

I did some searching but couldnt find the exact type of thread I'm looking for. I'm thinking of doing spacers on my F-Sport and want to just go flush...nothing crazy. What size would I need to do that? Are the Ichiba V2's the best? And what are the dangers? I have heard mixed opinions on doing this. Thanks for the advice/help.

The only real way to go about this without a worry in the world is by buying your spacers without adapter studs. You can do anything from 10-17mm in the front and 20-25mm in the rear. All you need is ARP Extended Racing Studs, you can get the ones made for the IS300. Do not let anyone tell you hammering them out is the best way to go about it, all you'll end up doing is shortening the life of your wheel bearings not to mention the runout of your wheel hub. Best way to go about it is with a C-Clamp and patience.

Almost forgot the most important element torque specs! 76ft lbs
