I ordered these and still have yet to install them. Was trying to wait until I got my CDS rotors and pads, however had to put some mods on hold for awhile. Unemployment really sucks.

What do you want the spacers for ? brakes or fitment ?

I have both H&R and Kics with its hub ring .
I prefer the H&R much better design and easier to work around.
Kics are ok but at 15mm will not clear most wheel hub surfaces.

I know what you mean trukn being out of a daily sucks.

3mm is fine and almost every wheel shop carries them for less than $10.

im just curious.. how are your wheels going to fit when your original studs are sticking out past the surface of the spacer? i dont see how the original studs will allow your wheels to sit all the way in...

please... can someone point this out to me...

thanks

all companies selling "adapter" style spacers (aka "bolt-on") specify that the WHEEL itself must have indentations/cutouts on the hub to give the old studs a place to go.

so double check your set of wheels and make sure it has these before ordering.

ichiba's aren't "bad".

there have been MAYBE 1-2 people i've seen/heard about on these forums talking about snapping some studs. then again, i've seen/heard dozens of people snap OEM and ARP studs too, so i don't really think its a problem.
