Front Spacer Issues( Inner Rim)HELP

BlueZair · 02-20-2012, 07:13 PM

Hey Guys, Im using some ichiba wheel spacers [v2] 15mm and i have come across some issues. When i installed the spacer the stock studs ended up being to long and caused some damage to the inner rim. any help or tips on how to resolve let me know asap.

I'm pretty sure you need at least 20mm. That's what I used.

BlueZair · 02-20-2012, 08:07 PM

I have 20mm on the rear. Now I dont know what to do in the front.

anything lower than 25mm bolt on spacer in the front will NOT work. if you want anything lower than 25mm you'd need to get the extended stud spacers in which you'd have to take apart your stud and replace them with longer ones. or you could trim the stud down a bit

Did anyone ever try grinding the cavities on the inner rims?

azn370z · 02-20-2012, 08:34 PM

For some people 20mm spacer will fit without touching the wheel and for others it will barely touch. I did dremel about 1mm off the wheels, took a minute per wheel.

Are you running on your sport stock?

BlueZair · 02-20-2012, 08:43 PM

Right now, there are grooves from the stock bolts on the cavities.

azn370z · 02-20-2012, 08:47 PM

When I had sport wheels I had 20mm spacers. You're going to have to dremel more than 5mm for yours to fit, not sure if that's good for the wheels.

BlueZair · 02-20-2012, 09:08 PM

Azn you're right on that coz I see the cavities more than 5mm already.OMG i hope its okay to do

I have sport wheels and 20mm spacers on the front. They fit fine, If anything.. grind down your studs a tad bit.

yah, but that's too much for 15mm. if you're committed to keeping those stock wheels temporary remove the spacers and grind off the protruding studs instead.

it's not like you can't swap out the studs later so it's reversable.

Thank you guys for your opinions and comments. I just return the 15mm V2 ichiba WS,and exchange it with the 20mm.I hope this will work for me.I will try to dremel the grooves inner rims just to clean it a bit.

Bro.....I have 20mm spacers for a few bucks. But u will need to change to longer studs

Jordo! · 02-21-2012, 04:02 PM

I wouldn't grind out the back of the wheel -- could weaken the structural integrity...

I have a set of stud replacement 15 mm H&R spacers I need to sell. PM me if interested.
