they do work, you just have to take off that supid bolt thing that sticks out from the hub and is only there to prevent you from putting the rear wheels on the front.

Actually the sport wheel package has no extra bolt thing. You DO need to replace studs for less than 20mm on the front and even then it is a tight fit. I recommend the stud replacement regardless because it is really quite fast and easy.

I run 20mm rear and 15mm front. Looks the best IMHO....

So why not use spacers that come with spacers pressed in already like Ichiba V2? Why do I see people that say they can't be used up front? :|

It is because the factory studs do not sit flush with 20mm and below Ichiba spacers, they still stick out a small amount and interfere with the wheels.

Go stud replacement. Nuff said!
