Question Spacers for 18' BOSS rim?

Does anyone know if I will need spacers for my 18" BOSS 318 rims on my 93 sc300? Ive herd both stories that I do and do not need them. I finally got my car outta the shop and now its time to put the wheels on her I just want to know if I need to buy them before I go pick up some tires and they tell me I need spacers before they can put the rims on.. Thanks

You'll need to post up the width and offset of the wheels in order to figure out if you need spacers or not.

To drive around, no, you won't need spacers. It will be pretty sunken as it sits. If you want more of a flush look, you could use a 25mm bolt on spacer.

Can I pick up thses 25mm spacers at napa, autozone, ect? are they cheap or expensive online or in-store? I mean if I dont need them I wont buy them but I guess I'll see how it looks when I put the rims on this weekend. When you say bolt on is it just a "spacer" that goes inbetween the rims itself and the rotor to give it more space so the rims dont look like there inside the car? lol idk Ive never had spacer on any of my cars before

We have a few vendors on CL that sell spacers. The easiest ones to install are Ichiba Version 2 spacers. I'd recommend getting 25mm due to your width and offset. Visit the vendor section on Club Lexus and you'll find that they range around $125 per pair. Best of luck and take post some pictures once everything is put together. Don't forget to make sure they have the correct hub bore size which is 60.1mm. You might also need hubcentric rings but you'll have to find the correct size by measuring your inner wheel bore.
