just to add a quick comment on the 20mm ones with built-in studs, you have to grind the back of your factory sport wheel by about 1.5-2mm to make them fit correctly. but it does work.

you can put your wheel on the spacers, torque it down gently and it will make indents from the protruding factory studs.

I didnt have to do this when I had my ichiba v2's in the front..

H R 20mm stud replacements are the way to go though, zero vibration, the v2's caused minor vibration in steering wheel.. hr studs are perfect

That's werd. You probably torqued down using an impact gun not knowing?
If the ichiba's are true 20mm like the eibachs, your stock studs will hit the area. Manufacturer should not matter.
