Default Wheel spacer for IS350

I've ordered a set of rims for my is350 that are listed as fitting on my car however when I searched it looks like I might have a problem clearing my front brakes. What have you guys used for wheel spacers up front? At what point should I look into longer wheel studs and can I swap them with the hub on the car?

Don't buy the rims if they don't fit - that would be my suggestion

Been running 10mm hub-centric spacers front an rear with my Genesis Track wheels without issue for a while now on stock studs and "tuner" style lug nuts. The max I'd recommend is 10mm without running ARP extended studs.

Yes if u gonna run spacer 5mm or more get extended stud. why would u want ur wheel to fly off the car if all u need to do is spend 30 mins installing new extended stud. I ran 10mm spacer before with extended stud and tuner lugs and I can only get 7 full hand tight rotation. Minimum is 6 yes it might be ok without extended stud but if one day ur wheel fly off ur car u will regret not putting extended stud. Better safe than sorry and u can install wheel studs without taking the hub out. If u have a impact only 15 mins job on each wheel

H&R spacers with extended studs if using a spacer over 5mm.

I'm running 15 mm rear and 12mm front on 5 spoke 18's. I wanted to be on the safe side so I installed longer ARP STUDS that I had macnine cut to add exactly 12 mm of extra stud.
