Nooooo, if you're going integrated studs stay away from those Ichiba's. I was looking into getting some for myself as well recently and read some horror stories about Ichiba's studs breaking off...
Ichibas are more than fine, everyone says they’ve heard these horror stories, I read one, from a clown on the Lexus forum over torquing the shit out of them. Anything can fail when user error occurs on installation. I’ve run them on my last two cars. I used to beat the hell out of my FD Rx7 with the torque of a 6.0 LS2 and they performed flawlessly.
Yay, but be careful over torquing the studs. I used an impact to lightly gun my nuts on and 2 studs, on one spacer, failed. Make sure it's V2 (built in studs). 20mm will clear the factory studs, but 15mm may require that you shave down the factory studs to get the spacer to fit the new wheel.
OK I won't over torque. I don't even have an impact gun...so what's the consensus - do I get 15mm or 20mm for my AP2 V1's? I want flush fitment against the rotor without vibrations or compromises in the mating surface between the rotor/hub, spacer itself and the rim...
I have the 15mm, you can see the drop I have, I have zero rubbing even on hard dips with my Ohlins set 2 clicks firmer in the rear.
Dude that looks amazing! I'm not a big fan of the Spoon fast back hard top but as a whole your ride is hot. your drop looks a few mm higher than my Koni/Tein 1" drop unless it's just the angle the car is parked at. Nothing beats an S2K with a good drop
The wheels sit nicely - stick out a fair bit although not completely flush? Again it might be the angle. I wouldn't want rubbing to occur either.
Thanks, they’re as flush as they can be while maintaining zero interference in any situation or angle I’ve been at. I get complements on the stance pretty often. Here’s a Good angle.

YES! That looks so hot! I'm going for that type of fitment.
