so, as we were discussing on another thread, you would NOT recommend the Ichiba V1 or V2's? obviously not German, but they seem like a more popular spacer company. will do my fronts w/ 10mm. was going to get another set of ichibas, but I could go HR

As I mentioned before I've never had a problems with Ichiba V2. My only "complaint" with them was that the centering rings were separate pieces from the spacers as opposed to one piece (see picture below).
On few occasions when I removed them for winter season, the spacers would come off easily but the centering rings would get stuck on a hub. That's the only part I wasn't too happy about, other than that they worked fine with no issues. If I could give you advise, make sure your hubs are very clean (use wire brush, sand paper to clean any rust and apply anti-seize) use torque specs recommended by producer (never use impact gun!!) and you won't have problems with spacers.

ive awkwardly only got one installed atm. I cannot for the life of me get my passenger rear hub off. destroyed one of my new extendo studs in the process. going to buy a new slide hammer tomorrow (payday!!). have you ever gotten the loose studs? haven't found a great way to press extended studs in. I rigged a setup for the driver wheel, but kinda chewed up a couple lug nuts in the process...
I suggest you buy new 25mm spacers with pressed in studs for the rear and 15mm for the front. You will save time, money, stress, broken parts, and the need of buying new tools and new parts. Get bolt-on spacers with pressed in studs, install all four in half an hour then take your girlfriend out to dinner.
You can thank me later

well i know where to find the spacers, now just gotta find the girlfriend... 😅 thanks for the input man, think i'll do exactly that: 15 & 25. 15 would make the fronts look meaty as hell. like i said, doing spacers in lieu of gettin aftermarket (larger) wheels. comin from the 15" base wheels on my old volvo, the stock 17s on my 250awd will do for now. i really like the outcome, even just with the 20mm on rears. thanks again for your help!!
This is 15mm front and 25mm on the back with the stock wheels. Somebody posted these a while back and imo that stance looks great.
I might actually do the same thing.
This is how 15mm front spacers and 25mm on the back look like with the stock wheels on. Somebody posted these while back and in my opinion that stance looks fantastic.
I might actually do the same thing to my car.
Huge props to the owner of this car
To achieve this look what offsets are needed for after market wheels? I'd like to stick with the 17" after market wheel size for my AWD.
While I do feel that getting spacers for stock wheels makes sense, or purchasing spacers for a used set of wheels..
Part of me feels that spacers are just a make-up add on for the wrong offset on your wheels. When I bought my wheels i bought the offset that would give me the look i wanted.. not buying the wrong offset and then adding spacers.. just my .02
In other words.. do your research and buy the correct offset wheels for your desired look
Here's a quick comparison between Eibach and Ichiba. Notice the nuts mounting the spacer to the hub, you can see the vast difference between the two seemingly same products. Eibach's nuts are twice the size of Ichiba's, these fasten your spacers to the car. In addition Eibach is grade 10.9 hardened solid steel. This means the studs are graded 2 times HIGHER than the requirement set by the Department of Transportation!
