So where did you guys buy your spacers. I went to summit racing and they didn't have any 5mm spacers in stock.

So i got my eibach 5mm spacers in today, threw them and the wheels on and the wheels still dont clear the calipers.

I cant go any bigger without replacing the studs.the wheels are a +30 offset, its already sticking too far out of the fender a bigger spacer will jsut ruin the look.

So what are my options now ?

I will when I figure out how to clear my calipers. The 5mm spacer doesn't work.

The spacer just slides on before you mount the wheel

That easy...Because I see pictures of the spacers come with studs, and there's 2x more holes on the spacers itself than number of studs on the car, so wasn't quite sure..........

Can I use hubrings with the spacers on? I need the hubs for my wheels =\

i used a 5mm spacer its basically a plate with the bolt pattern for our cars. 10mm spacers hubcentrics come with studs already pressed in. so you mount it on your car and bolt it down with the given equipment. The studs sticking out of your spacer is where you mount the wheel. hope that explains it.

Bigger spacer or sell the wheels, only option. It's not the offset that's the problem it's the disc size, it's likely you have low-disc (o-disc) and they won't clear bbk.

Doesn't the +22 version of this wheel clear the 350 brakes? I would buy those and maybe u can sell your other fronts. Or get extended studs and a 10mm spacer

I think I'm going to have to get the 10mm spacer instead. Questions is from where? I did some research regarding the extended lugs. Seems like the the is300 extended lugs work for the is350 as well.

I saw ichiba version 1 10mm spacers come with extended lugs. It's either those or project kics. Anyone possibly have a link to either of those , or a vendor on here that might sell the spacer & the extended lugs?

Thank you again
