are you sure your hub wasn't so rusty as to build up a few mm to make it too large to fit into the spacer bore?

i bought a no name set of 15mm spacers off ebay which actualy have mfr. specific inserts for the hubs to make everything hubcentric. they came with new studs too, for $65.

Update.

Guys - just wanted to keep everyone updated. The seller I purchased the spacers from on ebay has been very helpful and is working with me to resolve this problem. He has also gone as far as trying to source other brands for me as he doesn't have any Ichiba ones in right now.

He said this is the first time this has ever happened and I believe him. Seems like an honest guy and great seller and I would recommend him to anyone on here looking for some spacers. This does not scare me away from Ichiba at all and I would purchase again. I really think, like PureDrifter said, that it was simply a mismatched set and an honest mistake.

Regards,
Jonny

Quick question, when you tried installing these spacers, did you do it with the rotor on or off the hub?

They go on after the rotor.

if u did indeed get the right fit for your car, then it was the wrong size they sent u. If that's the case then it's not your fault.


if u ordered the wrong spacer , then it's your fault.

nothing wrong with ichiba, IMo they are pretty decent and have their fitment issues pretty accurate.
