Project Kics Wheel Spacers Vs. Others

Is there any difference between project kics hubcentric spacers and other brands like H&R and Ichiba?

I am planning on getting 20mm in front and 25mm in back for my oem 19" wheels. Anyone done this without fender rolling?

The kics bolt over the stock studs in the 20mm size, while the H&R and ichiba have replacement studs and built in hubcentric rings. The kics uses a seperate hubcentric ring. Eibach is another brand to consider, they make both types of wheel spacer and are hubcentric

Replacing the bolts can get pricey, but I would guess that it is stronger (race ready) this way.

I'm very hapy with my H&R spacers, which did include longer wheel studs.

I just got some Project Kics spacers & wanted to know if there was a DIY walkthrough for it on the site. Anyone know?

Thanks,
CJ

The reason there is no DIY is becuase it is easier than eating a piece of cake... LOL

Just remove that bolt on the front rotors as it is there so you dont put the rear wheels on the front. Thats the most asked n00b question there is, other than that it's cake. Just make sure and tighten them down enough, but not too much or you may break the lug tool that comes with them.
