I was talking with a guy about ordering some spacers and we found out for our cars there seem to be two possible choices on the kind of spacers we could get within the version 1 Ichiba line:

ICHIBA117-NS-50205S
NS-50205

The difference is one has an S and the other doesn't. The one with the S has different studs I believe than without the S. I almost ordered the first one but after seeing that it is most commonly used with older nissan cars, I decided to get the 2nd choice. Has anyone had any experience with this or have any knowledge on what's correct? Hoping I ordered right.

EDIT
Sorry if its confusing. The studs that come with both types of these are different. I just want to know if the ones I ordered come with the correct studs. That's all.

Nothing about wheels, about whether the spacers themselves are correct, or tires. Just the specific studs that come with the spacers I ordered because the studs vary across both of those spacers.

why would you need spacers? Are you running a BBK? Our coupes have an offset of +45 from the factory. +35 will bring it close to flush to the fender and possibly +30 with an aggressive tire mount (stretched).

What wheels were you looking at and what are the dimensions and offset?

+35 with a 5mm spacer is essentially a +30 offset which would be okay as long as you run 225. 215 is too thin and will not sit properly on a 8.5" width rim.

10mm is way too big. expect rubbing if you lower it.

I'm aware of all this. Thread is just asking about the studs that come with spacers, not about fitment, rubbing, wheels, tires etc.

Whether or not you should get a spacer with studs has nothing to do with older Nissans or newer Nissans. Larger spacers (larger generally considered 10mm and up) can block a significant length of the studs' thread due to their thickness. A spacer with separate studs allows you to safely tighten your lug nuts all the way down regardless of the spacer size. As always, you would have to verify for your self, but generally you don't need the studs with <10mm spacer.

The spacers come with studs. I forgot what the guy said but the firs option has typically been used on older model Nissans. You can verify this online. But I'm not asking about whether they come with studs, if the studs will fit or if I will need longer studs, different lug nuts or if they will be fully secured on.

Ok, I understand what you are asking. You will be fine as long as the studs are threaded m12x1.25mm to match your current lug nuts.
