Default Installed RSR Down Sus - Help with spacers please

Installed the down springs yesterday and it's a perfect drop for me. Not to mention I noticed increased handling coming around the on/off ramps on my freeways.

My spacers were the wrong size. I thought I bought comparable size to the ibacha V2 but the center bore was not flush.

Is our center bore 60.1 or 67.1?
I have non f-sport IS350 wheels as pictured below.

heres what I got...
20mm all around
Thread 12x1.5"
center bore: 67.1

Center bore was too big I was told and they were unable to install.





(Tiny dent along rear fender brand new...I dont park next to other cars for this reason but still happens )

Thanks.
now I see 60.1...saw 67.1 somewhere and pulled the trigger prematurely. Oops.

Came across a horror story earlier, anyone with bad experience with cheaper spacers?

Ones I'm looking at are $50/pair and 2.1 lbs each (weighed them when I got them) Ubertechnic brand.
Dont want to spend $200+ when new wheels are on the list anyways. However, dont need spacers falling apart on me.

As long as they have grade 8 hardware and are machined well (they all are, they're done by computer) it should be fine.

check out my thread here including what 20mm spacers i got. 1 year later they are still great, full torque (I triple check every month) no torque loss whatsoever.

ideally though, you want wheels that have the correct offset. you want to avoid spacers if possible. but if you do want that look, it's pretty much the only reasonable choice.

Thanks for the feedback.
In complete agreement wheels are preferred over spacers; however, I'm happy with these stock wheels for now.

I'll most likely go with the ones you've put on, I already had those exact ones saved in my shopping list.

Its 60.1

Lot of people do a 20/15 combo or 20 all around.

Contact us for pricing on spacers!
