Info NEEDED on Akata spacers
Wsup, for quite some time I've been searching everywhere for Spacers. Specifically 10mm with integrated studs since I test fitted 15mm and it would require me to run more than -7 degrees of camber which I wasn't willing to do.
Anyways long story short I thought the only set of spacers with integrated studs were the Project Kics, but the problem is they weren't hubcentric, but I found this brand called Akata and they come with 10mm with integrated studs and also hubcentric..
Does anyone here have any info, experiences, advice about these spacers? Btw these are made by Vossen Wheels They price isn't bad either it's only $80 shipped brand new which is really cheap
Is is safe to run? or I shouldn't bother. I remember seeing some members on Acurazine run these and numerous other forums Any help is GREATLY appreciated as I'm planning on purchasing in 2 days

If you are that close already are you sure you even need spacers? Sounds like your setup is pretty aggressive as it is...
if 15mm is -7 degrees of camber, I can't imagine 10mm being a whole lot different...
Sorry, no help on quality... safety is a toss up... anything you add additional is going to decrease safety, but, its probably not a huge deal on a street car...

We stand behind what we sell. Here is our wheel warranty for instance, no one is close. I just visited our facility and saw all the spacers, touched, them, slept with them
they are quality.

Lol sounds good.
But what I'm more worried about is the 10mm spacers since they come with integrated studs.
After searching for quite some time I've been told running anything less than 15mm spacers with integrated studs is dangerous which is why many and most companies smallest integrated spacer setup starts with 15mm and not 10mm

along with adding that I've been running a 10mm set of these for close to 6 months now with zero problems and of course hope it stays that way.

DON'T BUY THEM ESPECIALLY the 10mm bolt ons Their so called "Quality" spacers are garbage soft cast material. I ran a pair of them & had one completely shear off. My rim, fender, & undercarriage was damaged because of these poor quality 10mm spacers. The material itself is what broke the studs & bolts were still on the hub & spacer on the hub of my rim.
