Correct, and I didn't mean to imply anything negative against Ichiba, I just happened to hook up with Paul and decided to get the H&Rs. Thanks.

Thanks John,
Glad we were able to help you out!
We usually carry alot of options, as i'm quite anal about wheel fitment :tup:

Over the years i've owned or installed just about every spacer make out their and H&R's are still my favorite, from a quailty and weight standpoint.
We also do alot of Ichiba's but i would defently recomend staying away from the Type II models.

We've had several customers have issues with the 4-prong key they provide. Everything from bending to shearing them off clean inside the nuts. Best bet is to run Type 1 style (H&R,etc) and run the longer studs.

I'd be happy to answer any other questions others may have reguarding this.


:tiphat:

what 4 prong key? My 20 mm and my 25 mm ichibas came with actual lugnuts. Regardless, I plan on ordering the 15mm h&rs from you tomorrow. (for the extra 3-4mm on the hubring, not because they are one piece)

Those are probably version 1s?

no, I have version 1 and 2, maybe they changed their lugnut style.

Hey Mike. I had probs w/ the ichibas on my stock front wheels also. I agree w/you on the fitment prob. Please let us know how the h&r's work w/the stockers. part#'s also

yea, I need to get off my a$$ and order them. I will do it now.

Finally got my spacers installed today :tup: 15mm H&R on the rear, fills out the wheel well nicely now. Don't actually notice too much difference in the ride, but only drove home from work with it so far.

John

anything on the fronts?

Not yet, I wanted to do the rear first and see how I like it. The fronts don't bother me like the rears did. I think if I had done 20mm on the rears I would definitely feel the need to do the fronts, but with 15mm on the rear the car, to me, it looks good with the fronts like they are. Just my opinion.

John

Any vibration from the H&R spacers? I was thinking of getting these as well, however would avoid doing so if there is any hint of vibration.

This thread is very informative, thanks for the information in advance! Do you guys think we need longer studs on a 5 mm wheel spacer for the rear if Im running 19 x 10.5 with a +12 offset?

thanks again?

my ichiba version 2's come w/new studs on the spacer.

I haven't noticed any vibration, but have only driven it to and from work since the install yesterday. I also did not do the front. Mike, also posting in this thread, says the H&R hub is a little longer than the ichibas, which might help with vibration issues, although others have used ichibas with no problems. The H&Rs seem well made.

John

If you went 20mm what would you do for the fronts then? Just 10mm?
I was thinking of going 20mm in the rears and either 5 or 10mm in the fronts, though I might just do 15mm in the rear and 5mm in the front...hmmm.
