Default h&R's, will I need spacers?

Hello,

I am about to purchas some H&R springs for my 2006 is250, 18 inch rwd. I was wondering if i will need spacers as well? I am not a fan of the sunked in look that some is's have on heavily dropped springs/coilovers. From what I have seen in pictures, it wont sink into the wheel well too bad, but what experince have you guys/gals had with spacing out H&R's on 18's? any pictures??

thanks!

No, you don't need them. They are entirely optional. 15mm F / 20mm R to be flush.

H&R's without spacers

H&R's with B2 Design 15mm spacers all around



Happy modding.

rest are on 18x8.75 +35

all no spacers

from the front view one seems like front is flush but rear still tucked a bit

Spacer does reaaly help add flushness.

What is your wheel spec (width and offset) before the spacer? Any rubbing?

The wheels are Lexus ISP Modes 18x8 & 18x8.5 both +45, so +30 with spacers. No rub tires are 225/40 & 255/40. Its sad, they just sit in my garage building dust since Im on Vossens now.

Building dust eh? Are you looking to part ways with them?

If the price is right shoot me an offer. The front tires have been replaced with Falken F452s. Rears have bridgestones

you dont need spacers. you're not slamming the car so the wheels wont be inside the wheel well...
