I have a 2014 Liquid Silver and am looking into lowering it on Tanabe springs. My question is what kind of wheel spacers are good to have. I'm thinking either 5mm or 10, but I don't know if I need to be looking a certain brand or will any work? If you have pics of your car before and/or after, please feel free to post them! Thanks!
I see ichiba has v2 for the front as well (bolt on). Will the studs stick out to the point they stop the wheel from seating properly with it being 15mm? I'm just curious.
Yeah I'm curious about that too. The wheels have to have deep enough indentations on the back for the studs to sink in. Looking at stock 19s they aren't as deep, but might be just enough. Hopefully someone responds to that, I'm eager to pull the trigger on 20mm ones
It's not the lugs you need extended, its the extended studs you'll need, or you get spacers that come with studs attached. On our stock wheels, I would say 5mm is probably the widest I would go without extended studs. But in all honestly, anything under 15mm doesn't look any different without busting out a ruler to measure fender gap.
I just bought these for the front and 20mm for the rear. I test-fitted one of the 20mm on the rear and the factory studs just baaarely leave an indent in the void between the wheel's holes in a couple of them, the others showed nothing. I didn't do a full torque down, just snug.
Since the front is 5mm thinner still, that's 5mm too much. What is everyone doing for the front and are you doing anything to the rear studs? Is there a shorter stud part number? I've had no luck yet on a solution short of cutting the wheel studs and I'd rather not.

Well good thing Amazon has a fantastic return policy because you should definitely take advantage of that!
First of all, I've never heard of this company before. Secondly, even google doesn't return any results when searching for "squirrelly spacers" reviews. Third, those studs don't look forged. And even amazon doesn't have any reviews from other users. And they're too cheap to be quality parts.Too many red flags that scream RUN AWAY.
DO NOT cut factory studs. If tomorrow you decide to take the spacers off or replace wheels with a better offset without the need of spacers, you will be majorly screwed. There is a very simple solution to your problem, spend a little more on quality spacers like Ichiba V1 that come with longer studs.. Replace the stock studs with Ichiba studs and run 15 in the front and 20 in the rear without any issues of hitting the wheel in the back, etc. Save the factory studs for future need.
I spent $200 shipped on 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers from the same guy on Ebay.
Actually, I had bad luck with the Ichiba spacers kit. The splines on the studs did not match, that resulted in a few studs spinning upon being torqued. I had vibration issues and had to remove them.
