I have the 15mm and 20mm Ichiba V2s with no issues. I'm sure other people will chime in about where they got theirs.

Is it necessary to run extended studs with 5mm spacers? Are there any potential problems to be concerned about by just using the OEM studs with this size? Are the brands posted in this thread just a matter of personal preference or is there one known for better quality/durability?

The general consensus is no you do not need to run extended studs with 5mm spacers. The most important part is to make sure they are hubcentric spacers and that you get enough turns on your lugs for safety. At least 6 turns is required. People will also debate that you are placing more stress on the stock studs if you don't install extended ones, but plenty of people have run 5mm spacers without extended studs without any issues. I feel the only reason to run 5mm spacers is for clearance over the Brembos. If you're using 5mm for a better look fitment wise, I really don't think you will achieve the look you would be going for because 5mm will be barely noticeable.

As far as brand, that's really up to you. I have used Akata ebay V2 spacers before with no issues at all and even a cheaper no name ebay brand and didn't have an issue. IMO going with high priced spacers is just a waste of money, when you can get it off ebay for 1/2 the price and they work just the same.
