So thereotically if you put on an even thicker spacer, it would no longer rub on the fender liner but the fender itself?

OEM F Sport wheels with 25 mm on the front and 20 mm on the rear. Car has stock suspension and rims are wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Nero, 225/40/18 fronts and 255/35/18 rears. The rears rub when hitting dips and bumps at city speed limits, so I would suggest slowing down if possible. I say 25 mm fronts and 20 mm rears are perfect and I wouldn't go 25 mm on the rears.

Which brand did you go with? I'm planning to keep my height stock but put spacers on my '14 350fsport on Michelin a/s3+...

So trying not to confuse myself so much, I'm just going to note/generalize a few things here in my comment. Feel free to correct me or input suggestions

Assuming this is applies to all IS Fsport models...

Stock Height w/spacers
H&R: 25mm F/R
Ichiba v2: 20mm F/R

Lowering on Springs/coilovers:
H&R: 25mm Front, 20mm Rear
Ichiba v2: 20mm Front, 15mm Rear

I know diff tires, spring brands and heights; as well as diff coilover brands set to diff heights affect rubbing, but did I at least get the gist of spacer sizing above?

Thanks for any input!

I went with customadeonly hubcentric wheel spacers which can be found on Amazon. Brand is not too important but rather the material used. I'd look for a CNC'd 6061-T6 aluminum billet hub with a 60.1 mm hub centric ring paired with grade 10.9 bolts.

Did 25mm front and 20mm rear H&R trak +. I’m taking it off tomorrow because it rubs front and rear, if I had to do it all over I’d go with 15mm rear 20mm front.

^Interesting my 20 doesn't rub in rear. I have 20/20. and i have wide shoulder (wider than stock Dunlop shoulder) Firehawk tires in stock size too. and it's lowered and w/ hard cornering. Maybe yours is slightly lower or your rear wheels have slightly more positive camber?

My 20/20 rubs in the rear some over bumps but that’s because I lowered it a little too much

I'm new to the mod world (and not really planning to go crazy) but looks like spacers are quite easy to do self install as long as I have wire brush, some brake cleaner, anti-sieze and torque wrench, right? I will leave rsr down springs for the pros at shops take care..

Do you happen to have the exact links for both the 25mm and 20mm spacers? The amazon search was a little confusing when trying to find the right sizes... Also, you're IS is not lowered?
