Another dilemma here.

I want to know if the ICHIBA Front Hubs (S13) can have the studs pressed out?

And my second question is if the ICHIBA units have the same knurl as the S13 OE hubs.

I don't know if anybody has tried it because information about it is pretty lacking. The 50mm studs that come with the ICHIBA hubs are too long for the PBM 15mm spacers I am running in the front. If they have studs that press out and have the same knurl, I am just going to grind down those studs to clear the spacer and wheel.

Anyway, if anybody knows, make sure to get back to me ASAP! Thank you!

They sell hub with studs pressed in. I asked them about this and they said hubs will always come with studs pressed in. You will have to replace them yourself.

They have the same knurl as the S13 OE hubs. I know it because their studs work with OE hub. I bought the spacers and they come with the studs. I asked them not to ship the studs and give me discount instead. They refused. I sold the Ichiba studs to one of the NICO members and they worked just fine.
