Whats safer?? Spacer question

Is it safer in the rear to run extended ARP studs with a 15mm hubcentric plate spacer? Or is it safer to run a Ichiba v2 15mm hubcentric adapter with built in studs?

I've never heard of either failing, so I don't think it really makes a difference.

I got spacers with hub centering rings, 20mm front & 25mm rear, checked torque on 3x in first month. I never had issue, were tight every time I checked too

I'm running the Ichiba V2 spacers a couple years now and I've had no problems either. If you're getting spacers with built in studs, def go with Ichiba. I've heard of cheap Chinese branded ones braking studs off.
I was too lazy and there was too much work to remove the front studs on my car so that's why I went with Ichiba. Couldn't get the brake dust plate off to change out my studs, hope you guys aren't as unlucky.

Same thing. I ran Ichiba's for a while but switch to H&R's since they were TUV approved. No issues for the last 3 years.

if you really think about it....its the same thing...ones not going to be safer than the other....

most people just go with the spacers with built in studs because its easier to install than the extended studs....

just forgo all of that and buy correct spec'd wheels and one wouldnt need spacers!
