Just a heads up guys,
I installed my 25mm Ichiba's all the way around a short time ago. After doing that I heard a "Tick tick" sound as if I had run over a sticker or something was on my tire.

I checked my tires and wheels and the problem was 3 of 5 lug nuts was loose on my passenger rear. As directed, I used a torque wrench to tighten all of my nuts. The only thing I can think of was maybe I got some "Anti Seize Grease" on my bolts?

Don't wait for the ticking sound or worse. Check your nuts every now and then.

 

 

^ LOL...
not sure if did this first, torgued them down, drive down the street, then re-torque them again. should fix the problem.

 

check your torque wrench also. I've used torque wrenches to tighthen lug nuts before. Even with the recommended torque setting, it still felt...eh, loose.

I've always liked the ol' fashion hand tighthening, as long as you're familiar with your strength and how much to apply(as long as you're not jumping up and down on the lug wrench to tighthen it). The important part is that when you get a flat or something, you'll be able to remove the lugs without over exerting yourself.

 

Not only on spacers, but aluminum wheels need to be retorqued or checked often. I have had a 22" wheel come off driving down the road and take off across a pasture. It was not a fun ride. It taught me to check my lugs every now and then...

 

made me Lol!

 

Where the lugs tightened properly?

 

Yes, I did everything by the book/DIY. The torque wrench I used was the old school type with the moving arrow. I am going to def. keep an eye on my nuts for a while.

 

How did you pull the extended studs through the hub? Was a torque gun used?

 

I did not want to use a torque/air gun for anything. I did it all by hand and the final tightening was done with the torque wrench. I used the Ichiba V2 spacers so the extended studs were part of the spacers.

 

I torqued mine to 80 ft/lbs, guess it wouldn't hurt to recheck them sometime soon.

 

help me out guys. i have an 05 6mt coupe. recently purchase all around inciba adapter kit.
problem is.. there is this stud that is keepin me away of installing the spacers in front. its between the screws where the lug nuts are placed. the rears are fine. what are other adapters can i use? mentioning i dont have brembo brakes.

 

That's just a bolt to make sure the rears wheels aren't accidentally put on the front. Just remove it and you'll be good to go.

 

When studs are inserted into spacers they are just press fit. When you put them on the car for the first time the studs in the spacers usually seat themselves a little more with all that force causing the lug nuts to become loose.

When I threw mine on I checked them for the next few days, they eventually tightened all the way up.

 

There is a really good DIY on installing Ichiba spacers. It mentions that dummy stud and other great tips. Try searching 25mm Ichiba
