Great info and thanks to all.
If you can help with advice. I am going to install aftermarket wheels with an 35 offset and stock suspension and tires of 245/40/18.
Wheels with adapter rings will be the 60.1 hub bore.
Does 25mm front and 35mm rear spacers work?
I figure that the 25 front plus the 35 offset in the wheel is 60 or 15mm out from stock. Same math for rear only 25mm more than stock.
Is my math correct?
I assume that mandyfig has been running Hubcentric's 25 front and 35 rear spacers for about 2 years of this thread with no problem. I am about to place the order for the same and I would appreciate comments on my logic / math in my previous comment. I am a noob to spacers / aftermarket wheels.
Am I correct?
Thanks,
I did the math wrong. Inverted thinking. 35mm offset will push the wheels out 10mm from the stock 45mm. With that I've decided not to install spacers.
What brand spacers did you get, and did you have to modify the wheel bolts to fit? I'm about to do the same project on my SC430 with IS350 wheels. Thanks, Marty.
I have been talking about doing this for quite some time and I finally broke down and bought the spacers. I went with eBay, I know, everyone always is suspect of the quality of eBay and I was certainly not looking forward to sending back the adapters if they shook.
I was so concerned that they would vibrate that I put the the spacers one at a time and took it out for a test drive after every wheel was reinstalled. Even at 80 mph I didn't notice any vibration at all.
I am using OEM 2007 SC-430 rims on the car so I installed 25mm (1") on the front and 35mm Hubcentric Wheel Spacers on the rear. This is my only experience with the suppliers on eBay but they shipped really quickly so if you would like to know who I got them from just PM me.
Although it may be just be in my head increasing the track a bit does seem to make the car handle better. It isn't like I am driving on expensive tires and there is no way that the SC430 is anything I would take to a Pro Solo event but still, it does feel better.
I took some photos to show the improvement in looks.

They just fit better, I have no idea why Lexus didn't do this from the factory.
@ bobster99. Looks good! I ran the 25-30 mm setup for years with OEM wheels till I upgraded to aftermarkets with the proper offsets and now I don't need them.
