@ jeff lange I torqued to 76 ft/lbs, even if the studs were torqued to 80ft/lbs the bolts shouldn't snap like that. Im no mechanic but I know how to use a torque wrench.
@bamais like I said I used the hubcentric rings with the spacers. I'll like to see what kind of statement you would make if you were driving 75 mph on the highway and three studs broke off. There is a reason why the studs broke off the SPACERS and not the front wheels where there are NO spacers.
It can very well be my fault in terms of what happen but seriously installation of Ichiba V2 is a not very hard, I really doubt I over torqued it, I'm am pretty paranoid and **** when it comes to doing things.
I just wanted to share an event in my life with the forum and maybe save a member the hassle of going through the same thing.

The bolts/studs have to be of high tensile steel hardened and annealed correctly. Probably this process was eithet not done or not regulated properly.
