I had the Lexus dealer install 1999 SC400 16x6.5 rims on my 1995 ES300 but the mechanic said they rub the suspension so he took them off and he pocketed $50
What can I do in order to use these rims on my car? Spacers?
Please help!!!
thanks

I don't know much about spacers. Could you please elaborate?
How would a spacer help? I've heard that usage of spacers are risky.
I'm aware that there are different sizes of spacers, but how do I know which size would solve my problem?
Lastly, where can I obtain spacers at a reasonable price? A few sites I've checked sell H&R spacers for $135+, anything cheaper?
thanks

+38 to +43 offsets work on the ES300.I believe these SC wheels have an +50 offset? Is that correct?
With that said what are some solutions? Would the tires be a problem or is it the offset? Is the spacer the only way to correct the offset? If so, what size spacer?
Sorry for all the questions but I'd appreciate the help!!!!
