Hey all, I need to replace a couple of the bolts that came with my Ichiba 5mm V1 wheel spacers. Ichiba wants $25 for a replacement set of 5 which is highway robbery since the originals are a POS. I'm going to go to a specialty hardware store to see if I can find the correct bolts, but wanted to check to see if anyone knew the thread pitch and other specs of these before I took one to the store.

BTW these are the 4th Ichiba part I've purchased and put on the ride and all 4 have crapped out in one way or another. I will never buy another thing from Ichiba again, never.

Sorry you've had such bad epxeriences with Ichiba products Tim. I've been running their V2 spacers for over a year now with no issues. Not 100% sure if this will help but here are the specs as posted on http://www.hrautoparts.com/ Maybe you can email them (no phone number listed on their site) to get any detailed info on the studs.

Spec:
Bolt Pattern: 5/114.3, 4/114.3, & 5/100
Center Bore: 66.2 / 56 / 60.1 / 54.1 / 67.1
Thread: 12x1.25 / 12x1.5
Longer Studs Included

Thanks guys. The issues I've had are:

rear camber arms-bushing in the head failed
toe bolts-threads stripped
15mm V2 spacers-nuts are super soft, rounded off a couple torquing to spec
5mm V1 spacers-stripped threads on 2 bolts

Comparing their parts side by side to other company's they are noticeably cheaper in design and quality. Put a set of SPC toe bolts and a set of Ichiba's together and you'll see what I mean. 4D that's a great link, thanks.
