mxl4729 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I have a 1997 Lexus ES 300. I just took off the stock rims to put on a set of 2002 IS 300 rims with 215/50/17 tires. Of course the rear did not fit because I did no check the back spacing. Now that I have done a search and see that I need some sort of spacers I have some questions that I could not find answers to in the forums. 1. is it safe to use spacers 2. First can I use ¼ inch spacers with my stock studs or do I have to replace them with longer ones. 3 what size should I use? I have found 3/6 ¼ 5/16 4 has any one had vibration problems because the stock wheels are hub centric and when I use a spacer they will no longer be hub centric 5. should I use spacers on all 4 wheels so they are all even or should I only really use them on the back. Thanks everyone for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxl4729 Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 So far I was thinking about using http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=42614 One more question has anyone had problems with vibrations or road noise from them or worst of all wheel studs breaking or wheel falling off?
