I am going with the Kics 10mm spacers with built in studs from touge factory. Although they wont work with all wheels though. They will be nice and easy and easily removable also.

You have to get extended studs, and replace the stock ones on your car. Not hard task, but pays dividends later on. I recommend ARP extended studs (ARP 100-7717)

So the ichiba 10mm says they come with extended studs. So I just replace those with my studs that are on the car?

This is what I did. I purchased the 10mm Ichiba V1 Spacers from Touge Factory. The reason I went with the V1's is because they were the only 10mm hubcentric spacer that I knew of. Being hubcentric is very important.



They also came with the necessary hardware for the install. See the extended studs...


Lastly, here you see the hubcentric spacer with a polycarbonate 67.1-->73 hubcentric ring which is to fit my Volks. I ordered (2) sets of these off of Ebay. Make sure you know the inner diameter of the hub of the wheels that are to be fitted!


The spacers have yet to go on the car. I also have Robispec springs that I need to put on, but I have no time...

Touge Factory also carries aluminum hubcentric rings if you are running aftermarket wheels. The hubcentric spacers are made with a 67.1mm bore to be hubcentric to the stock wheels, so if you are planning to run aftermarket wheels, do yourself a favor and ask for the rings. They're only $20 for a pack of 4...blue anodized too

Yes, you will need the hubcentric spacers. As for the studs, take the brake calipers off, rotors off, use a hammer and bang the studs out. Pretty simple.
