Ichiba Spacers
I just received 2 sets of Ichiba V2 spacers yesterday. When I took out the first spacer out of the box, the hubcentric ring came right off. This happened on all 4 of the spacers I received. The hubcentric rings would only stay in place if they did not go in evenly, which means they are being put in wrong.
My question is, are those hubcentric rings suppose to be so loose? Will the tighten into place once they are installed?
I am also planning on installing crush rings as mentioned in the DIY to avoid any vibration issues.
Any advice will be much appreciated.

They are not suppose to be "tight". They should slide into the spacer and there should be no movement side to side. Sounds like you are good and definitly use he crush rings especially if on OEM wheels.

If you are using these on stock wheels there might be a vibration at higher speeds. Check this out. http://g35driver.com/forums/v36-diy/...ation-fix.html

Yea I read that, so I went ahead and made the crush rings already.

No vibrations after install.
I am hearing some noise in the front when I do over bumps. Could that be related to the sway bars maybe not tight enough?
