Another option is the eibach bolt on spacers that have the hubcentric ring built in as well like the H&R setup, and they are availabe in widths down to 15mm

Thanks guys and thank God for this site!, I will remove the wheels tn, put the rings on and re-install, then go for a spin on the highway
Glad u found them! best of luck. Let us know how it goes.

Just wanted to report that I put on my M45 rims and there is no vibration at all! I thought I might have to replace the copper wire after every change but they are still doing their job by pushing the inner ring of the Ichiba V2 out about a mm, so I left them.

Very near flush in front. Slightly tucked in the rears. I do not know what offsets are on your g37 rims though. When I have my Wedsport rims, it is close to being flush.

speaking of flush, if ones rims are very flush, does this mean more dirt and debris goes up the side of ones car which could result in increased chipping and damaging of the body paint? (which will result in rust... :S).

Anybody with the Ebay spacers have experienced this problem? If so, did this fix resolve your problem?

I don't know if it's #10 or not, but I just used home electrical wire and stripped the insulation. It was pretty thick and if needed, could apply two.

I found some. I actually just went back to Home Depot and got 10-2 (3 insulated 10 guage wires in 1). Then I just stripped what I needed. I wasted so much time trying to find it that I didn't have time to iinstall it tonight. So tomorrow I will give this a try.

Thank god i found this thread. I was just telling myself that i need to find a solution to the vibration. I just purchased the ichiba v2 and i was wondering why i had a vibration. I will do this DIY asap but i just want to ask a stupid question.. How do i make this crush ring? Do i just go to say, a home depot and buy the Copper ring? Im horrible with these kinds of things so bare with me if you will. How do i fit it to the hub bore size. Im an idiot i know, but at least im honest lol. Thanks in advance.
