I would go with a spacer on the rear, just to give it that aggressive finished look. Can you tell us the width and offset on the rim? That will determine the width of the spacer.

Depends on the wheel specs....looks like at least an inch since they look really sunken in.

how do i order spacers?
i looked on fleabay and it seems so confusing!
i know the size i want is 25mm but it seems that the spacers seem to convert the bolt pattern
from 5x114.3 to something else

please clublexus wheel gurus help!!!!

*Quantity *Two (2)
*Thickness *25mm or 1 inch
*Centerbore *60.1 mm
*Bolt Pattern (PCD) *5x114.3mm or 5x4.5
*Thread Type of Pressed-in Studs & Supplied Lug Nuts *12mm x 1.5 or 12x1.5 or M12x1.5

is this what i need?


thanks in advance

I'm not an expert, there are others in CL much more knowledgeable, however, your tech data is correct. There are many threads to guide your choice of manufacture. Do a search.
One other tech is proper assembly and torque (~80#)

I've got spacers on my rear wheels and i greatly advise checking YouTube for videos if you plan on installing yourself. All your tech data is correct, as AutoPlak indicated. DO NOT BUY SLIDE ON SPACERS! Go bolt on for sure. I recommend a company called Akata which are "backed" by Vossen Wheels (from what I've been told by a Vossen Rep). There are truly more expensive brands out there to which people will swear allegiance as more reputable companies. I went with the 30mm Black Anodized from Akata, which I installed myself with a torque wrench set to 88 lbs. I have no regrets. Good luck.
