just check your wheels regularly and make sure that the torque is followed.

The brand is Akata Racing and the design is a rep of the Ichiba v2. I may be selling mine in a month or two when I get my new rims. I won't need spacers anymore since the new wheels already have a pretty low offset.
now my questions do the existing wheel studs need to be cut on order to fit spacers

I had to cut my oem studs to be flush with the spacers. My F-Sport wheels don't have pockets in the back the oem studs to fit. My friend is also running the same spacers and he has the 06-08 oem wheels and those had rear pockets so he did not have to cut his studs.

most ppl on this forum run 15 front and 20 for rears. i myself ran 20 on the rear and it looks great. just to be on the safe side buy high quality spacers using quality extended studs.

I am currently on H&R 15mm spacers in front...

But I am also dropped on Megan EZ's about 1.5 inches and I don't recommend putting spacers on unless you like rubbing ALOT
