No spacers, OEM Bridgestone tires even. Why was your wheel base 1" shorter on that side?
Either something's bent or subframes are out of square. I've been told by others on this forum more knowledgable than me that it's pretty common on the 2IS.
Yes, it is unfortunately common on these cars. I've been toying with the idea of building jigs to align the subframes, front and rear with the chassis, but I don't have access to the welding equipment I would need to do this.
Got these wheels in after a short wait. 18x9.5 +45 square. Running 255/40 indy500 tires.
First lmpression im super happy with the wheel fitment and the look. Pleasantly surprised with how cncave they are for a +45 wheel. Ill be doing a more in depth fit check tomorrow but dont anticipate any major issues.
Finally installed my new wheels. Aodhans aff7 in Matte Black. Stock suspension and no modification to the fenders. Might rub on hard bumps and with passengers.
19x8.5 +35 with 225/40/19 front
19x9.5 +35 with 255/35/19 rear
yeah, makes me a little nervous since the lip of the wheels pokes with the 225s but I’ll just roll with this for now until they’re worn then upgrade to a beefier set up.

This is what I'm worried about as I don't want to pull my fenders. Most of the wheels readily available are in that size. Unfortunately for my setup (Tokico HP Blue shocks and Tein H-Tech springs), the rear sits a lot lower than the front here the tires (my current setup is OEM snowflakes with OEM tire size) and the tire tucks a little bit under the fender. Im going to order FIGS rear wheel height spacers to help give it more space. That way if ever get wider aftermarket wheels and more meatier tires, it'll help avoid all or at least some rubbing.
So, I love my WedsSports but I absolutely hated the bright chrome raised centercaps they came with. The color doesn't match at all and they totally ruin the concave look of the wheel. So I was off on a hunt for a flat cap. I wasn't all about spending $200 on flat centercaps from WedsSport so I got some plain plastic ones from amazon and added a silver Lexus decal (2" wide)
For anyone that may have a similar wheel and want to change it up here is the info, adding the item description/title in case the link breaks. I did have to add a 1/16" O-ring to get the cap to fit snug.
