Please forgive my potential ignorance, but is Slee the only supplier that has the front Spydertrax spacers for a 100? The rear part (WHS-023 or WHS-007) seems to be readily available, but nobody seems to carry the front spacers which I understand to be part # WHS-022, not even Spydertrax.com.
I was hoping to order today with expedited shipping. TIA for any advice on who to order from!

My knowledge is not comprehensive but I know that Slee had special spacers made by Spidertrax specifically for the LC front.
The spacers have additional notches to clear the nuts on the wheel hub flange. The spacers only fit in certain orientations.
The standard rear spacers will not work on the front.
I don't know if others make similar spacers, but there cannot be many, if any at all.
I have been very happy with the follow up support and advice from Slee.
BORA spacers are what I ran and loved them. 1.25" put the sidewall of my 275/70/18 KO2 right in line with the fender lip. The front spacer IS different than the rear as it has cutouts to accommodate the hub flange bolts. I wouldn't go more than 1.25" on any 60mm offset Toyota/Lexus wheel.

They make a specific front and rear. You would need to specify 2 front 2 rear 1.25" spacers.
Attached is a photo that shows the difference. The ones on top are the rear. The ones on bottom are the fronts. You'll notice that the fronts have indexed cutouts to accommodate the hub flange bolts that only exist on the front.

NOTE THAT THE FRONT ONES ARE INDEXED!!!!! If you don't get the cutouts lined up, you WILL break off the little aluminum tabs that are the concentric ring and the spacer will be ruined... So make sure if you take them off and put them back on again, they go back in the same orientation, and test fit before you torque them down.

Excellent point! The fronts can only orient one way and one way only. Rotate until the spacer slides over the hub flange bolts cleanly. You'll know it's right or wrong immediately. Once you have it oriented correctly, you can do what I did.....etch a mark on the spacer and the aligned bolt so you can put it right back on without rotating again. The rears require no such critical alignment.
One final thing to remember: if you take your vehicle to a Discount Tire or other service center where they might remove and reinstall your wheels....do NOT let them do the fronts! They will break off the tabs on the fronts. It's very important that, when putting the wheel on, you make sure you creep the bolts on. The wheel has to line up perfectly so that all the tabs rest inside the hole of the wheel before cranking down on the bolts.
