Hi i have a 1998 GS300 and I lowered my car with coilovers. I lowered the front more than the back, car looks great and handels well, BUT I have had some rubbing issues on the 2 front tires.

It is rubbing on the top inner part of tread about 1 inch in from the edge wall of the tire, at speeds over 35mph or when hitting bumps. It is rubbing on the upper suspension arm/the steering knuckle area. The 2 front tires are shot. I would like to keep it lowered and was thinking of adding 1 inch(25mm) spacers for the front tires (245/45/19) to clear the steering knuckle. and 35mm spacers in rear.

Question is: What are the pros and cons of using spacers?

Has anyone used spacers before and would like to share their experience?

Would i have rubbing on the fenders?

What possible damages can i cause by using spacers on a lowered car?

:unsure:

Sooo...no one ever used spacers on their wheels or lowered their Lexus and had rubbing issues? I see many members photos of their GS slammed to the ground, if any of you guys reading this, what did you have to do to prevent rubbing?
