Default Wheel spacers and lowering

I know this has been discussed a little before but i'm looking to lower my 2015 F Type S and add wheel spacers. I used the search feature but it seems like a lot of people had to return there spacers. I don't want to run into any problems so what spacers and springs do you all recommend? I have the factory 20's and I think spacers with a small 1 inch drop would look perfect.

Talk to Lenny, he can make you any size spacers you want. I had him add a few millimeters to mine so I didn't have to trim the stock studs:

Thanks Mahjik. What mm spacers did you go with? I like you don't want to have to trim anything.

IIRC, the original size was 15mm and mine were 17-18mm (I don't know the exact additional width Lenny used, but it was 2-3mm).

Do you have any pics of the spacers installed to see where that puts the offset from fenders?

I don't have any daytime pictures myself. I'll see if I can find some from the recent shows/events that someone else may have taken of it. Basically, it won't look any different than the photos you'll find here on the forum of those who did the original spacer group by at 15mm.

Awesome!!! Ty.
I assume you aren't lowered and there's no rubbing?

Looks great... These cars need a more aggressive stance.

I am not lowered and there is no rubbing. If I can figure out how to get in and out of my driveway without scraping the front, I do want to lower it a bit. Right now, I'm just barely clearing my curb and I'm not sure my home owner's association will approve something like:
