Default Anyone running spacer on factory 18" rims ?

hello lexus fanatics new to this site.Owns a 2008 is250 rwd beautiful cars.Kinda jealous other member posting they cars on 19" & 20" rims looks sick unfornately i cant snowing in toronto but rwd on winter tires drifting so much fun the traction control is awesome running 18 x 8 f ,18 x 8.5 r on 225 40 18 winter tires .Thinking about getting spacers to make wheels flush rear wheels look semi stretched hence 225 on 8.5" rim.
1''(25mm) f =18 x 9 lowering offset 20 & 1" (25mm) r =18 x 9.5 lowering offset 25.
Would it rob running stock suspension ?
Would the stance look good or safe for the winter season ?

. . Im running 15mm spacers f&r. No problems here. I had them on since September. T
The brand is Akata Racing and the design is a rep of the Ichiba v2. I may be selling mine in a month or two when I get my new rims. I won't need spacers anymore since the new wheels already have a pretty low offset.
