Caliper Spacer Size?? IS350
Hi guys. I need help. I got an is350 & while I was talking on the phone the vendor representative told me I would need brake caliper spacers if I were to get the wheels since my calipers are wide. Just wondering what would be the best fitment? 5mm? 10mm? 15mm? The rims size I'm aiming for are 19x9.5 +22 front & 19x11 +25 rear

Really? I was thinking with going with 5mm spacers since the vendor recommended them. Did you ever try those & what clearance issues?

Most definitely. I'm planning on rolling my front and rear fenders & cutting a little fender liner out. Also I'll be modifying my bumper tab since I'll be lowering my car on coils with a rear camber kit & spc's on the front after.

its more the disk size more than width and offsets. ive never really heard of any varrstoen having an issue clearing a bbk cause they all have the same higher faces. but if i was you, your best bet would be just get the wheels if those are really what you want. then do a test fit to determine what size spacer you need.
that way at least you wont be buying too big of a spacer,or too small.. or might not even need a spacer at all

I stand corrected . My experience was with varrstoen es2, not the es1.
I had to buy 10mm spacer to clear the front caliper but didn't like how far the front tire stuck out so I'm back to stock wheels. Do a research on my threads posted and you'll find the discussion regarding clearance on my wheels. My apologies for the confusion regarding the different wheel types.
