Be cautious of spacers
I had some Ichibas spacers on my car for over a year now
Just because this happened to me, doesnt mean it will happen to you
but i just want people to be more cautious about what they choose to install on their car. Im VERY lucky that nothing serious happened, cause this could have been disastrous if not leathal
I thought this were quality spacers (ichiba) but even these are prone to crack
I installed 2 spacers on the rear of my car, none on the front. And as i was changing my wheels off look at the surprise i found:

That's the main reason I didn't get spacers. I don't mind using them on European hubs with bolts, but I was always unsure of how they would hold up with nuts. Good thing you caught this before anything serious happened.
