Both you and Semtex.
It is all good though, my car is sound better every week, and soon will look a bit better with this addition.

that's a good point. so would you recommend going 25mm in the rear? i will be dropping the car on Coils...i won't be going for the slammed style but want to minimize most of the wheel gap.

Mine now, 25mm springs with Nismo suspension, stock ride height:



bottom line, if not lowered, don't go to 25.

Personally, I find this setup to be the most impressive. What do you guys think?
did josh use the ichiba v2 in the front? or does anyone know if the 20mm v2 will clear the studs?

They won't clear the rear studs. I think the fronts are the same size, they are about 21-22mm

I used H&R bolt on type in the rear and stud replacement in the front.

This is so annoying! Can anyone confirm that the FRONT sport wheels will fit the Ichiba 20mm V2 spacers and still A) Bolt on properly and B) Clear the wheel wells with the stock sport tires and suspension!!!

I am sure there are a lot of people that would go this route to avoid stud replacement alone!

ok, I give up...

I guess I will just shut up and order the 15mm stud replacement for the front and the V2 20mm bolt ons for the rear.

NOW... which brand? A lot of people are leaning towards the H&R.... any other opinions?....
