Anyone experienced wheels getting stuck on the spacer ?

I've got ichiba V2 spacers and I tried to remove my wheels today, they are pretty stuck there ... I'll try to hammer them tomorrow but i'm I the only one ?

Thx

Any tip and tricks will be appreciated !

I've read in this thread that 20mm bolt on style of spacers both CAN and CANNOT be used on the front wheels if you have Rays. Is there a definitive answer to this??

CNC Aluminum Bolt-On Wheel Spacers (20mm, 25mm, & 30mm)

I was looking to buy the above all the way around.

I have the Rays with 20mm spacers in the front and 25mm in the back. I haven't had any problems at all. And they are the bolt on ones.

I just ordered the Eibach Pro-Spacers System 4, 20mm front & 25mm rear for a 2010 Z with stock springs/suspension and stock Rays. I haven't seen any posts about any conflicts with this setup so hope all goes well. I'll post back shortly.

I wouldn't replace studs for track. Track duty sees more torsional stress on the lengthened studs which can stretch or break the studs and cause the wheel to come loose or fall off.

Bolt on spacers are torqued down on the wheel and on the spacer so there is no torsional stress on the studs.

Tell me if I'm wrong

No problems.

did you order these up yet? i just jumped on here looking to answer the same question. the stillen site says the bolt on h&r's won't fit the front wheels but i could have sworn i saw people on here with them on the fronts. i just bought my z and i'm looking at the z1 spacers. 20 front/25 rear. that seems to be best looking option on the factory rays.

as i was saying

So I read a few threads, Many speak of the stock rays working. Im just about set on 15mm front and 20mm rear, BUT I have one question (please don't bash me

...

I plan to put 305s on the rear the next couple of months... the 20mm spacers in the rear shouldn't create and issue right? EDIT: stock ride height, no plans to lower

I have 15mm and 305's. The tire was flush at the top. I think 20 would look just as good.
