Nick,
I added spacers all around. Wider is better, right? But, hey, we're only talking 5-10mm (or less than 2/5 in.).
I probably could have gone with 15mm up front, as I hit a mud puddle yesterday and there's some mud slung on my door. Maybe if I drop it with Eibachs the fender bulge will help stop sling...or I can avoid mud puddles.

Last August, I bought the RMM Grille from a CL member, ronncat. LexRX bought his intake and exhaust. The grille was already painted 202 Black Onyx. I probably would not have bought if it was painted another color. I've read of fitment issues on the GS, but this grille fits great! It is designed for the 99-00 and requires some special bolts for the 01 and later. I picked those up at Lowe's.

Daddy-O your rx has become and inspiration for me
Nice touch and style.
I was wondering if you had any vibration problems with this wheel? Did you had to use hub centric rims on all 4 wheels? or does the rx300 wheel center hub is the same diameter as the rx300?
thanks

Could you clarify your last 2 questions?
Still debating Eibachs.

Hmmm, don't seem wide enough
What width are those rims.? I know I went with an 18 x 8 with the recommended offset of 20mm and no spacer and I like the look of the width of mine. I don't get any mud sling when driving in a straight line, but I do get some when I make a turn, but that should be typical with any size tire. I picked mine up through Discount Tire, who I normally buy all my tires and rims from. Call me picky. But I like will pay for alittle better customer service and warranties.
And for anyone else who asks, you have to use 255/55 becaus if you use 255/60 it will rub on the strut in the front and the rear. there is barely any clearance on the especially on the rear strut for a tire any bigger, plus you will lose your plus zero sizing if you use a 60 series tire( besides the fact it probably won't fit) .
Here is what mine looks like from the back.
