Are you guys saying that the stock lug bolts must be replaced to fit the ichiba spacers on?

Yeah. When you order the spacers it comes with new studs. The thicker the spacer, the longer the studs. HTH

Just an FYI: Ichiba has a version II out that doesn't seem to require the replacement of the stock lug bolts.

I belive the user ModShack has these, and from his install pics, doesn't look like he swapped any bolts out.

These will work on the back, but not the front due to the wheel casting. Also keep in mind, you will need a dedicated breaker bar and socket to remove these to fit the spare. The quick and easy solution has some downsides. I'm going the longer stud route on the front when I do them..

Good point about the spare. Is it difficult to change out the lug bolts? I managed to get through the hfc install.

Yes. Original studs are pulled and replaced with the longer Ichiba studs.

I will not be using these v2 of the spacers. Not only are there issues with the wheel castings fitting these spacers on the front, I would rather avoid the complexity of 2 separate sets of studs holding the wheel on...
