Finally Flushed

My brother came up to visit me and we decided to put my Ichiba spacers on. I've had them for so long and I've been itching to put them on since I couldn't stand how my wheel fitment wasn't totally flush like I wanted. It's just 10mm, but it was really bother me. Anyways, we started at 1pm and finished the job at 7pm. Totally missing the local Hooters meet, but it's all good, my fitment is flushhhhh now. Everything was easy, except installing new studs w/out all the right tools is hardddddddd as hell. That's why it took so freaking long. Here are some pictures though:

Maybe even might want to go with 15 mm spacers. I got Ichiban Spacers and it took me only 15 minutes on each side. There was no need to "extend" because the Spacers already have "extention" on them. Weird........but glad that you got it done. It does look better........ imagine what 15 mm or even 20 mm would look like. I like to "poke".
