Looking for Wheel Spacer Recommendation
I put some F Sport springs on recently and the car looks better. Tommy had recommended me putting on spacers. I beleive he said 15mm on the front and 20mm on the rear. I don't want to damage the car, I don't want anything to rub, scrape, etc. What do you guys think? Particular brand/model? Any and all input appreciated.

Sure, as you can see I got a lot of help when I asked. 
Seriously, I went with the Ichiba spacers in Version 2. I used 15mm on the front and 20mm on the rear. No rubbing ( I haven't autocrossed it since the spacers). No fender modification required.

Ya, I saw that same thread. I have had them for only maybe 200 miles so no real need to check them. There are 5 lugs holding it on, it would have to break into a lot of little pieces for it to fall out. And if it did, you would slowly start to feel a wobble in the wheel as chunks of spacer fell off. Of the thousands of people who have them that was the only thread I found about a broken Ichiba spacer. Did he torque them properly? To tight? Did he race? Did he buy them used? Were they defective? We don't know. I've seen a thousand threads about Lexus vehicles breaking down but that doesn't seem to deter people from buying the car so I wouldn't worry about the spacers.

Not as a result of the spacers. But I did with the F Sport springs, at the beginning for about the first week I felt the front end kind of choppy/bouncy at high speeds. That issue faded away fast.

im thinking of getting the same size spacers for my car. 15 in the front and 20 in the back really seems to give you that flush look im hoping for. do you have a picture from far away like the first picture you posted, but after you installed? thanks in advance.

spacers
I had an experience of ichiba version 2 spacers sizes 15mm in front and 20mm in rear and the way i look at it, the 15mm spacer its not safe cuz it is thinner as well as the lug nuts. I observe also that you will tend to damage the lugnuts easily cuz the tire range or what ever tool you will use doesnt have enough deep or grip to it. The tendency it will easily bald your lugnuts. I suggest get 20mm front and 20 or 25mm rear.
