100%. The styling makes it. This is a really good-looking car. I think Lexus absolutely nailed it this time with the IS styling. Aggressive, sharp, clean, crisp, but not over the top or too busy looking. They redlined it with the styling. LOL.

Got my 23 back in October. Upgraded from my grey with red interior is300. I loved the red interior on my 300 and looked at a few 500s with it and just wasnt feeling it. I preferred the deeper red and did not like how they made the door panels and parts of the dash red so i ended up going with a black interior. Just ordered an apexi axle back and will order the non resonated midpipe when it is back in stock

Hi CL members! I'm new to Lexus, I was a long time Audi and BMW owner. Just picked up my first Lexus last weekend. Proud to have a 2023 Cloudburst Gray with matte black BBS wheels! First things I need to do are hardwiring my radar detector and adding spacers so if anyone has a recommendation, I'd love to hear it!

Congrats and Welcome!!

From what I’ve seen on the FB groups, many grabbed the Bon0ss spacers at 15mm all around. EDIT: Had to use the ‘0’ because the name was zapped for some reason.

I agree, that's the general consensus. I think this is what fits since they are lugs on the car not bolts right? ****** Forged Lightweight Plus 2023 Lexus IS Wheel Spacers 5x114.3 Hubcentric Aluminum 7075-T6 for XE30 IS300 IS350 IS500 - ******

Correct that we use lugs, I do not know the specs. Went to the FB page, searched Bon0ss and posted the info below. One of the mods pull together a kit for people to buy last year. Hopefully it helps!

——————-

I've got only 1 spacer kit left. Will ship priority from Oregon.

2-15mm
2-20mm
10-42mm lug bolts
10-47mm lug bolts
($220) SOLD OUT

Have locking bolts to be used with the spacer kit as well. ($40)

Spacers are for use with OEM enkei or BBS wheels; no aftermarket wheels.

Conical lug bolts for aftermarket wheels ($80)
Locking conical lug bolts for aftermarket wheels ($110)
