Thumbs down Ichiba V2 15mm Front Spacers Don't Fit!

Very disappointed actually.

I bought a set of 20mm Ichiba V2 spacers for the rear and a set of 15mm Ichiba V2 spacers for the front. The rear went on *PERFECTLY* 5 out of 5 star quality. The front's thread didn't even line up! I almost stripped me OEM lugs by trying to install them.

Both boxes said 12 x 1.25 I have no idea what the issue is. Neither front side fit at all the bolts that came with spacers did not fit onto my OEM studs and my OEM lugs wouldn't even screw onto the spacer studs.

Anyone know what the problem is?

I bought both the front and the rear from HR AUTOPARTS but now I can't get 1 of my 5 lugs back on! Because I kept trying to install the front spacer it ended up slightly stripping my OEM stud.

I emailed HR AUTOPARTS and still haven't heard back I can't get over this type of quality in a $130 wheel spacer! You can buy spacers for $20 from Pep Boys and not run into problems.

be patient, it's the weekend. I'm sure they'll get back to you soon seeing as how they are a site sponsor.

It's probably wrong thread size studs. The guy packing the spacer box probably grabbed the wrong size.

Yeah I read great reviews on the Ichiba spacers before I actually bought them so I'm sure it's no big deal I just wish I could hear back from someone from HR so I'd feel a little better about it.

I really am hoping they'll send me a set that fits and I can go ahead and mail back the original spacers.

are they hubcentric? Only nissans have a 66.1 hub bore IIRC, so they may have been assembled with the wrong studs to start with
