Ichiba 20mm Bolt On Rear Spacers - Installed!
 

Hey everyone! A buddy of mine and I just finished installing 20mm Ichiba bolt on spacers on my rear wheels. I have 15mm stud replacement H&Rs to go on the front, but I need to get extended studs. If you know where I can pick up some extended studs for a 15mm spacer...let me know. I want to give a shout out to member cptspeed for providing the spacers!!

Anyways...on to the before and after pictures:

This install was very easy...40 minutes max for both wheels. Spacer bolts and lug nuts were torqued to 85lbs and I'll be going back to my friend's place on Tuesday to retorque the lugs and make sure everything is still nice and tight. I drove the 17 miles home and didn't have any issues...hopefully it stays that way.

Thanks for looking!! :)

Nice job! Glad to hear you torqued and will re-torque.

Yep!! Can't be too careful!! What's weird is that you're only re-torquing the lugs and not the actual bolts that hold the spacers on. Ideally you would like to be able to do both...but there's no way without removing the wheel.

is loc-tite recommended for the wheel spacers lugs? I put spacers on my Jeep and they came with a little tube of loc-tite.

Looks good btw. What size tires are your running?

Not sure on the loc-tite, but I did put a dab of anti-seize on the spacer bolts and on the back of the spacer. Tires are the stock 275/35/19.

looking good sir

Looks good. I just switched from 15's in the rear to 20 mm -- very nice :tup:

Looks good. Glad everything worked out for you.

Thanks guys!!

Next up are the fronts lol.

Sweet! Amazing how big of a difference 20mm can make, I think it is best to re-torque the spacer anyway as you can always easily re-torque the wheels.

:tup: Agree! Anti-sieze behind the adapter too.

Are you on stock height??

Yes I am...but I am thinking of getting a set of Swift springs to drop it down a bit.

I if i leave mine on stock springs/height, have been debaiting either to go 20mm on all 4, or 15F/20R as you are doing.

Do 20mm front make the wheels come out of the fenders and look to wide on stock height?

I think 20mm is flush...
