Default Ichiba v2 Spacers

So this might be a super noob question but I'll post it anyways.

I'm trying to install my Ichiba v2 spacers and realized that my wheels don't have these indents on the back of them. (highlighted in red) The studs stick out of the spacer so the spacer does not sit flush on the wheel.

Is there any way around this?


(obviously not my wheel or one that would fit on a 2IS but it was the first picture I found)

i think you have to get the V1's for what you have.

"If your wheels are solid surface, we highly recommended to purchase Version I 15MM Wheel spacers, otherwise the OEM studs must be shortened so that your wheels can sit flush against the spacers!"

from:

Ignore the 15mm and just use whatever size you were originally going to install.

There is not much you can do other then buyer thicker spacers. The 25mm are thick enough to go over the stock studs and sit flush with them allowing you to use a wheel that does not have the pocket you describe.
