Wheel spacer for OEM 19

I am looking forward to get some spacer for my OEM 19. I am looking at project Kic 15mm, 20mm, but i heard bad things about them.

I heard 2/5 studs broke from one of the user with Project Kic.

How about that Iciaba v2 spacer? It seems pretty popular all the sudden.

Should I go for 20mm, 25mm setup instead?

People will have poor experience with all brands, whether you hear about them or not.

My friend just picked up a set of Ichiba V2 25mm spacers. They look nice.

I would go 25mm front and 30mm rear.

For reference, here is 20 front 25 rear.



Still tucked...

Is it really bad for the wheel bearing to go for wheel spacer?

^ You should be fine as long as they're hub-centric.

i have project kics on my car for over a year now, i dont do any crazy driving but as you can see my suspension is cambered to hell and cambering puts extra strain on all parts. mine are still fine..

PK are made by rays, rays makes volks, and that name speaks for itself... i wouldnt run any other spacers other than PK

good luck

look at the picture i posted above...20 front 25 rear. it's still tucked.

i suggest 25 front 30 rear, but if you must go kics then 25 front and rear.

try our forum sponsors.

Trust Clavin.. you should go for 25 front and 30 rear. I've searched previously and saw that 20/25 setup is still tucked. 25/25 will look better but 25/30 would look flushed.
