No highjack man, love the pics, it looks great.

You guys have convinced me..I'm NEXT!

Add me to that list, purchasing Ichiba V2 25mm spacers as soon as I get a reply from Works Concepts! That flush look is exactly what my baby needs.. Hope it rides ok with RacingBeat springs

Love my spacers. Pics in my Sig. FYI running OptionSelects from eBay, nicely built and I have beat on them a bit these past few weeks with no ill effects

What did that setup end up costing you? Did you have to roll your fenders?

Are these the correct size for the rx8? Looking to purchase spacers in the next couple days, any help would be appreciated. If anybody has any recommendations on some solid spacers, that would be good as well.

^ Yes those are correct.

Sorry missed this one. The setup cost me 160, and they are a quality set. Mind you this was on ebay so price is subject to change.

I did not have to roll my fenders, but keep in mind that I have coilovers so I adjusted my previous suspension height to accomodate for the spacers.

I get very slight rubbing when i hit some large bumps in the road. But only the hard bumps, doesn't happen on everyday driving. The rubbing doesn't seem to be too bad as I dont feel any wear on my plastic fender wall. I will take a closer look when I swap out to my winters in a month or 2.

I get rubbing when i corner hard or hit large bumps.

One big downside I have encountered (may or may not be from the drop+spacers) is my sway bar end links had too much strain on them are failed. They are making A LOT of noise and I have a new set on order.

Hi to all!!!

I haved read this and other posts but not completly sure. I have a 2006 RX8 with OEM wheels, tires, shocks and springs (just RB sway bars). I don't want any rubbing in any condition and a completly bolt-on application (no stud, fender or wheel modification). Just install and go.

20 or 25mm?? Any pics with the OEM setup (or link me to one)?

I know there are a few pics here but want to be sure it's with OEM setup.


Tks for any help or clearing out doubts.

Not sure you are going to find pics of a completely stock 8 with just spacers, but regardless, 25mm should do you just fine.

Tks for your answer. You have them? Any vibration issues? Tks again.

Just weighted the Ichiba's 25mm with 5 nuts and hub...Exactly 2lbs each.

quick question. I have 25mm spacers on with my oem rim/tires. I need to remove them in the next few days. Is it okay to use an impact gun with an extended socket ?? Or is a breaker bar necessary ??

I just dont want damage anything. I do not have a breaker bar at the moment.

Impact is fine for removal, just take it slow.

alright thanks brother

Hi!!! I just weighted a few days ago my Ichiba's 25mm with all the nuts and center hub: 2 pounds each.

Ichiba's 25 mm V2 with all nuts and hub: 2pounds (just weighted mine last week).

I tried to find what amount of torque should I use to tighthen the nuts on my Ichiba's. maybe I missed it but read almost all threads regarding spacers but don't remember if I saw this detail. The plastic bags inside the box say Max. 80ponds. Any suggestion? Tks

80-90 should be perfectly fine. You can go up to the recommended mazda spec of 105 if necessary.

Tks for your suggestion.

Nice, I painted my stock rims, but I figure I'll go with 20mm after reading this thread, don't want to rub with 25mm.

Has anyone tried 30mm spacers before?

Yes, check out the aggressive fitment thread. All of those guys are running 30+ mm spacers.

hey man this might be a stupid question but im wondering if in the pics on the 1st page of this thread are 25mm spacers all around or if you had a different size in the front. lookin to get some this spring so any info is appreciated ...thanks in advance!
