My personal preference is to only use hubcentric spacers. People say they are not needed. I have seen many folks run w/o hubcentric w/o issues. But I have seen rims destroyed when installed incorrectly. I just like the added comfort the hubcentric spacers provide.

I've got the same ones on my car (front and back), and zero balance issues (work wheels). You're them with stock wheels?

The Ichiba ones are 1 piece, not 2 piece (not sure where that came from) and are hubcentric as well

This is the Ichiba Type 1 (comes in 5, 10, 15 and 20mm). Longer studs are included on the 10-20mm. I run these on my own car (actually on 2 of our Z's here). They are 1 piece, CNC'd aluminum/magnesium alloy - just like all the other spacers out there are. These come with longer studs, so you're old ones come out, and the new, longer studs go in.



This is the Ichiba Type 2 - they bolt on to the factory hub. Again, 1 piece CNC'd aluminum/magnesium alloy. Comes in 15, 20 and 25mm sizes.
