So i searched like crazy and found a few threads but I have a real dilemma on my hands. I got some ISF rims for my car only to realize the brake caliper becomes an issue.. . I've heard 5mm could do the trick, but 10mm is more likely.. well this is my daily driver so I don't have time to do an extended lug install if 10mm is needed and I've seen enough horror stories about the lug extensions with their own lugs on the spacer.. so what to do? Is this really that much of an issue on the IS350?.. what is everyone else doing to clear the caliper on the IS350 with something other than a stock rim?

At this point I'd love to find a local guy with the F-Sport wheels and trade (ideally with a 250 cuz apparently there is no issue). Sob.

You cannot run ISF wheels on your 350 without spacers period.
You going to need spacers (10mm) anything over 5mm i would recommend getting new studs.. get the Ichiba they're like $30-40

Stay with quality name brand and tested spacers, torque them to spec, and re torque them after 100 miles or so. You should be okay for daily driving.

I ran 2 sets of ichiba 25mm v2 spacers with the built in lugs on my old ride (a SUV rolling on heavy 20's) with no issues for about 30k miles.

Really guys? Sorry to sound like a paranoid freak but I now drop my 3month old daughter off in this car and seeing those threads where some studs broke off the spacer has me worried.

Then get new wheels... Like they said, there's no other option.

Lol yeah i figured... Just kinda sad.. I wouldn't have expected this to be an issue.. damn you Lexus! Coming from the muscle car scene (mustangs) this was never an issue.
