Default ichiba Wheel Spacer

i got a set of Enkei RZ5 offset 42 with nitto 205/50/16 for my xa RS2.0 i came in to a problem with them as i was putting them on the rear i didnt even try fitting the front. ok i put the rears on with centering rings and snug the lugs. i notice that on the rear trailing arm has a welded rod running all the way across the dummy axle. now if you look at the weld and have the rim on it rubs the sidewall of the 205/50/16 i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem too cause i called the copany to make sure these were a direct bolt on they ensure me that they were and sold many packages with the same offset and tire size package. well now i order 2 sets of ichiba 5mm wheel spacers. the company told me that they will refund me the amount that i spend on them spacers. i never would have thought that i was in for a project with a set of 16's.
this is good info for those of you that have xa and want to put a set of 42 offset and 205/50/16 rubbers
when i get them wheel spacers in and start on this little project i will post some pictures to show you what i mean and a simple tech info on putting longer wheel studs for the spacers

You didn't mention what the rim width was? If it was 7 inches they should have fit no problem unless they gave you the wrong offset size.

Do these spacers go between the hub and wheel? If so did you also add longer wheel studs?
