Default spacers/stud question

I'm getting some 10mm ichiba v1 spacers and wanted to use some different studs instead of the ones that come with the ichiba set because of some of the threads here about them snapping off or whatever. I was wondering what size studs I would need. Would these work they're for 1st gen is idk if 2nd gen is different or no. Looking for any recommendations Thanks!!!!

Can you post the thread where the studs broke on the V1's? I just installed a set of V1's last weekend.

I never heard anything about Ichiba studs breaking.

On the other hand, ndk83 had an issue with his spacers cracking. (I have Ichiba spacers in the rear and haven't had any problems, though)

you'll never have any problems with any 'quality' brand spacers, the problems owners do encounter is usually due to user error = over torquing of the bolts~ never ever use/allow a shop to use and impact wrench on any of your spacers and/or wheels, EVER~
