Great post Triple's! Are there any benefits from spacers. Obviously they give you a wider stance which will provide better handling, but anything significant?

Better handling? Why?

Damn...$100 per spacer...yikes. How do you choose between getting spacers that require stud replacements or not?

If you're tracking most opt to go with the ver 1 stud replacement style

For non track most opt to use ver 2 that bolt on

I do not plan on ever tracking my car. What is the difference? Are the replacement studs stronger and able to take more force for track use?

Just safer since in a track the last thing you want to happen is for one of those adapters to come loose, And mind you it's a safety precaution since I've not heard of any issues with ver 2 which is to say there isn't any.

Any pictures of 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear?

Edit: found this:

I looked up the Ichiba spacers on their website and found that the Version 1s are slightly cheaper than the Version 2s. Hell...it might take more work, but you're saving money.

Can anyone tell me what minimum length studs will accommodate 25mm spacers?

fuct 10-24-2011 08:57 AM

i read you need to be able to turn the lug nut a minimum of 7 complete turns. if you cant get 7 your studs are too short.

Thanks for the advice Fuct but I really was hoping for an exact measurement like 60 mm. or something.

Does anyone know if i can put the bolt-on spacers up front if i get 20~25 MM spacers? would 25 be too much up front? i'm gonna get swifts in spring. I want to do 20F 25Rs with the sp Rays, but i dont wanna change studs lol

Imperial 11-04-2011 08:12 PM

Yes... But I think 25 mm would be too far out. I'm running 20 and already it scrapes the inner fender liner on certain bumps.

Ages 11-04-2011 08:26 PM

So with 20s I need stud replacements ? And thx for the reply.

Imperial 11-04-2011 08:32 PM

I'm using bolt-ons. 20 mm will clear the OEM studs.

Ages 11-04-2011 08:33 PM

Awesome, thank you good sir!

Ages 11-04-2011 08:35 PM

Also.. Sorry.. What brand are you running with?
