Here's my sedan on ichiba 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers. The offsets are now at +25 front and +20 rear. I've had them on for about 2 months and have liked the quality and look they've given so far.

good deal and thanks for responding. I ordered a set of 20's yesterday. The Ichiba lock nut isn't the best design IMO. I'm assuming the same 80-85Lb torque specs would apply to the spacers as well. I'll see when I torque them how well the locking key works. Anyone else that has already torqued them, please chime in

Well, I installed the 15mm/20mm spacers today. I did the test drive and the fronts rubbed. Raised the front coilovers 3/4" and the problem was fixed. Doesn't have the same drop but still looks ok and it's an almost even drop front and back. I gave up a bit of drop for some added width up front which was worth it. I'll get some new pics up soon.

I'm still trying to decide on how big I want my spacers for the OEM Rays.
This is one of the reasons why I'm still in limbo with my decision.

Based on this picture, I think I'm going to go Project Kics 15mm all around.
What do you guys think? Does anyone have a picture with 15mm on OEM Rays from the back of the G? I'd appreciate it a lot!
