2021+ IS wheels on a 2014-2020 IS
#46
Well here it is. With the current set up with 20mm spacers… massive rubbing on the front fender edge. I immediately ordered 15mm spacers to remedy this as the poke with 20mm was a hair thick causing rubbing under any sort of compression. Drove perfectly smooth otherwise!

OMG, so glad I finally found this thread after spending hours researching options to put these same wheels on a 2020 RC350.
I also found the conical to R14 adapters and may go that route but did find a couple nut options.

I think I'm going the same route with the titanium adapters since it opens up the nut options to something better looking.

I also came across this place in SoCal that I thought could help since they have floating seats. They could not provide the R14 but stated that the R13 in aluminum would work since the metal is soft enough and will conform to the R14. A set of nuts from them is relatively cheap for titanium so I am going to give them a try.

One more pic.
I got them from Spiral Bevel. https://spiralbevel.com/store
They are titanium with a floating aluminum washer. The washer is only R13 radius but they said they said the aluminum is soft enough to conform to the R14 radius in the wheel. The torque spec is 103 ft pounds so they are cranked down nice and tight.

Just remember about torquing. The torque spec you should use is for your wheel stud, NOT based on the wheel. If I remember correctly, the torque spec for 2020 and below is 76 foot lbs. 103 foot lbs is going to put a lot of strain on those studs so don't be surprised if you snap one (or more).
