Ichiba Wheel Spacers Installed

I was bored today but in between rain showers, I decided to test fit the Ichiba 15MM Wheel Spacers I've had for about two months. I bought a set of 15MM purposely for test fitting. I was a bit skeptical about the built in studs as I thought the OEM wheel studs would prevent the wheel from seating correctly. To my surprise, they fit perfectly! The extended portion of the OEM stud fits in the wheel cavity. The pics show a 15MM on the front and rear right now. While the rears look pretty good in my opinion it looks like I can get a 20MM in there. The offsets on the SF Winnings are +25F and +28R. Pretty conservative offsets but that's the way Volk was originally setting them up.

I know the car is dirty as we're in between hurricanes down here so just looking for comments on the wheel spacers. Anyone running Ichiba's and if so, any issues I should know about before ordering another set and mounting them permanently?

New pics starting at post #42

Front looks perfect Bruce, the rears look like they could use another 5mm. Im thinking about adding 5mm to my rears as well.

Ichiba bad quality, they went bad on me after about a year, I have 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, and 20mm, all laying around my house But as for when they do work they work great, but after a while the studs started to get loose and then I started hearing grinding squeaking noises blah blah etc. But niiice though, they sure did the job!

^ did you have the built in studs? If so, what did you torque them to? I only have them test fitted right now.
