Question Ichiba 5mm Wheel Spacer Kit -any vibration?

Ichiba 5mm Wheel Spacer Kit

Anyone here have these on the rear of the car I want to know if you've put these on and gone a 100 or plus with no vibration whatsoever.

Chime in but only if you've driven with them up to that speed.

i have.

i used to have 5s all around on my sedan and had 5s in the front on the 37, and it was fine, the hub is 10mm so putting the 5 on there still leaves half the hub for the wheel to balance on.

Thanks STOOF!

Now hopefully I have enough thread on my lugs to grip well after adding the spacers. I think 6 threads is the least I want to go ... Got to ask local tire/rim shop for that one.

Over doing it as in vibration or fit? If you have stock wheels those sizes I think are ok for fit.

For no vibration you want hubcentric spacers what ever brand you pick.

I would pick a good name brand like Eibach or Ichiba. Beware of Ebay for cheap made ones.

*As a note to this post I found out about using the slip on 5MM spacers you need at least 6.5 clock work turns for your wheel lugs to safely hold the rim on regardless.

I've got stick so Id say 7-8 to be totally safe. Now to find some good quality 2MM or 3MM spacers lol!
