I am awaiting 25 mm spacers from Garage Line. They had them for a great price, <$200 shipped I believe. I think they are out of stock until next week though. I will post pics once installed.

Looking at Walter's post, where he has a 25mm spacer, it appears (angle is difficult to really tell) that the stock lug nut studs are nearly flush with the front of the spacer. With a 20mm spacer, is anyone having problems with the factory lug nut studs sticking out beyond the face of the spacer itself? I can't hardly see how people wouldn't have this problem on the 15mm spacer that ICHIBA offers.

I was reading the evox tuning blog (http://www.evoxtuning.com/blog/) and they had to cut the factory stud down a couple of threads due to this issue.

No rock chips, but having the spacer adds to the possibility of it happening.

The ride quality is the exact same. The only gripe I have is that my driver side wheel will rub those "gills" in the wheel well when the wheel is fully cranked to the right. Only happens once in a while when parking when I have the wheel fully locked to the right.

I agree - anything less than 20-25 isn't worth doing. Still too sunk in...

I would stick with 20, 25 seems like its too much. I would want
as many threads as possible for the lug nuts to catch. It's my family car, so
I don't want to make unsafe.

Irrelevant as the spacers have studs which are used to secure the wheel. The original wheel studs are used to secure the spacer itself.

Anything after 20 spacers come with studs pre-attached...

Here's what a 25mm spacer looks like with attached studs




Your car studs go through the spacer while you mount your wheels on the attached studs on the spacer like so...




I had 30mm spacers on my 350Z for about 2 years and I went canyon running and drifting and drove the car hard with no problems.

Anyone running Project Kics spacers with the special lug nuts?
I need to get this Special four prong key.
http://www.shop.upgrademotoring.com/...LKICWTSKEY.htm

Does anyone have an extra key that would like to sell me? or there is another key in the market that I could get or use to remove the spacers?
