Spacers here today! woohoooo

Today my Ichiba type II spacers should be delivered. Is there anything I should know or be cautious about when installing these?

I thought them being hubcentric helped avoid vibrations? I got 15mm for the front and 20mm for the rear

Search for the crush ring mod on driver.
I installed mine just last week and only got vibrations at hwy speed above 100kph. After the crush ring mod 90% of the vibrations are gone according to my wife who is the pickey one when driving the car.

I have type II and you need to do the copper crush ring thing with OEM wheels. My exact set up is in my garage. Do it first time around to prevent most vibrations.....it is very simple. Not sure if you will rub with 20mm in the rear and not lowered.....probably not. But if needed there is a DIY on trimming the fender liner and bumper bracket.
