Ichiba offers wheel spacers that have built-in wheel studs. H&R doesn't offer that so you'd have to replace the studs on the wheels. Has anyone used these Ichidba wheel spacers? Any reviews would be greatly appreciated...Thanks.

I believe H&R offers the same spacers with pressed in lugs. Each manufacturer determines whether or not the pressed in lug bolts are needed based on spacer thickness.

I can only say that I have never had problems with my Ichiba spacers. However I've seen pros and cons for both Ichiba and H&R.

Do you have the Ichiba version 2 wheel spacers?

Yes, I had Ichiba V2 in the rear:

I have had Ichiba spacers on previous vehicles. The one's you are talking about with the lugs in them. Never had an issue, no vibrations, nothing. Even did some tracking on them and never any issues.

Thanks a lot for the input!

Do you know what the torque specs are on the spacers?

LEXSTASY

I typically torque spacers at a 100 lbs and the wheels at 80-90 lbs

Torque spec on spacers is the same as OEM spec since bolt material (steel) and thread pitch are the same.

Thank you. My mechanic torqued them at 100 on the spacers and 100 on the wheels. He said that was oem specs. Does that sound right to you?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong ... I think the actual is 76 ft-lbs, but 75-80 ft-lbs is the generally accepted range.

My wheels are torqued at 80 ft-lbs.

JDW379

Yours are torqued at 80 on the spacer and at the wheel?

LEXSTASY

Like I said, I would always torque the spacers at 100 lbs and the wheels at about 85 lbs and I would track on 20mm spacers heavily with no issues.

I don't have spacers on my car anymore, but that's the torque I used before I removed the spacers.

Do you by any chance still have them? If so, for sale?
