hey i found the picture i posted a while ago where you'd need to grind off a little bit on the stock front wheels if you use 20mm built-in stud type and notice the wheel's disc is hitting the stock stud.

I have 20mm bolt ons and the OEM studs don't touch the Rays at all. I took them off to confirm, no contact.

my friend has ichiba spacers on his evo x and the acorn nuts seized to the studs.... destroyed 2 of the little sockets it comes with trying to get it off. make sure you guys use some sort of anti seize on any spacer or lug for that matter!

Infact, I use loctite blue on the mounting nuts. Never had an issue removing them on my Kics even after snow season... I did notice that the lugs included in my ichiba set appeared to be of lower quality than the Kics or Eibach sets I have...

With the Ichiba v2 20mm bolt-on spacers on the front wheels... the OEM studs stick out a little bit too far and actually dig in to the inside of the wheel. It still tightens down, but the studs to slightly damage the wheel on the inside. I've posted pics here before and also had vibration issues. I've since gone to the H&R DRS and replaced all oem studs...

In my opinion... do it right the first time.

That is incorrect... I just moved my 20mm Ichiba v2s that I had on my Rear to the front and they fit with no problem at all... This is with the OEM 19s.

I than replaced the rear spacers with 25mm Ichiba v2s and the outcome is perfect... Car sits flush in the front and the rear looks a bit meaner than before.

But the point of this thread is that, atleast with 20mm v2 Ichiba's in the front, the v2 with built in studs fits with no issues.

:happydance: :driving:

Thank You!
The Ichiba V2 15mm's do not fit on the front of the 19" sport OEM wheels
and I have been searching for someone who has the 20mm's installed

Old post, I know...but why not shave or cut the stud down a bit? I believe it'll require a mere 1.5mm to be shaved down to be a flush fit.
