i was just wondering - i barely every see IS200 with standard wheels and spacers...i think this would give the car a better stance and a meaner look from the back (especially if its been slammed)...also another thing i discovered is that if you removed the rear mudguards (Oem plasticky things) the car looks wayyy better from the back as the wheels stick out, ofcourse its just imo but yeah...so why no spacers?

i have 5mm on the back of mine all year round
Spacers - Bandit - 29-12-2017
i had 5mm ones on mine for a bit, just to make the wheels a bit more flush with the bodywork, just enough for the desired effect
got a set here still of the 5mm ones but if i do it again i might go for the 10mm ones and see how they look? :thumbup1:

thanks for the replies guys..where can i get em from? I heard u can even get em from halfords for £25 each? also how does it affect the car? would i need to get tracking or alignment or something done?

I have 15mm hubcentric ones on the front to fit over the brakes
Spacers - Anees - 29-12-2017
I have a set of Project Kics ones which are hub centric and one of th best you can get. They are used by japanese drift teams and awesome quality. I used to use them on the Aristo to make the standard 17" wheels fit my supra calipers. Didn't use them long because they were only temporary.
They cost me £140 mind + import duty form Japan!! :o They actually bolt on to the hub, then the wheel bolts to the spacer and it has a ring too so its hubcentric. I would be willing to sell them if you were interested.
They are 15mm
