I find it slightly disturbing some people have vibrations and u need another mod to get it installed to reduce vibrations. Apart from not over torqing which was mentioned in the thread, is there any spacer model that will not have this issue assuming it's installed properly?

yeah project kics and H&R spacers supposedly are fine.

the problem is the ichiba hub ring doesnt stick out far enough to get far enough into the center bore of the stocks. For some reason the center bore is tapered on our stock wheels.

That sucks I was not aware of the needed rings...I had first ordered H&R but the 20mm were back-ordered 6-8 weeks. I looked at project kicks but heard they were not hubcentric and needed such rings therefore I did not go with those.

We'll see how it turns out...I'll post some pics and comments later.

Update: According to the phone rep at Ichiba USA, there is no need for additional rings- the spacers come with everything needed and are hubcentric; there should be no vibrations. Will post results later

You are going to cause yourself a lot of extra work if you do not use the copper crush ring. Many, many have not done it and then had to go back and do it. It is not the spacers or the ring. It is the Infiniti OEM wheel. When you look on the back of it, it is tapered not allowing the hubcentric ring to perfectly center the wheel. Your call, but we are just trying to save you time.

Service manual. I have one at home but someone else might have one at their fingertips. I seem to recall it being 84 or 85 pounds. And with the Ichiba lug nuts, be sure to be very careful getting the lugs off or you will strip them. Best to use an impact wrench to get them off. Read these threads for more......

no one sells them. just go to home depot and buy some 10mm copper wire. Then cut it and bend it to make a ring that fits around the hub.

The problem is when you run with the OEM 19's you have to extend the hub to mate 100% with the wheel.

Yes, just go to Home Depot and buy some 10ga copper wire. I had to buy 2conductor+ground so I just bought 1M and cut the insulation off. Easy to do!
