Default yall put spacers on the sc?

Im sure some of you have read i just put gs rims on the sc. The rear looks a bit funny. Would spacers fix this problem? can you put them on the back? Ive never used them

ive seen some people put spacers on their supra wheels.. so it lines up with the fender.
if you are going to get spacers, i'd recommend H & R

im guessing this is an easy mod. Sounds like they just slide on. Forgive my ignorance in the matter. I think the rear sticking out about 1" would give a meaner stance

Hi,

I'm running GS400 wheels and have H&R 25mm spacers on the rears. They push them out to nearly flush with the wheel well.

I picked them up from Options Auto Salon for around $120. The set they sell is all you need if you wanna do spacers. It comes with extended studs and everything.

Had them for over 1 year on my GS and now on my SC with no problems. I'll post pics soon.
Hope this helps.

Here are the spacers on my first gen GS for now (SC looks the same if not a little wider): https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/sh...500/ppuser/508

I put spacers, on my SC with TT wheels. I havent had any problems. It pushed the wheels out just enough and doesn't rub.
