real easy....just look at the visual instructions (assuming you got kics). just align the studs on your wheel hub w/ the holes on the spacers & bolting them down w/ the spacer's lug nuts (don't forget to put hub rings on). then just put your wheels back on using built in spacer studs. drive around the block, take the wheels off & re-torque the spacers. your done.

Ichibas have the studs built in on 15 and 20mm sizes.I have them on my 350 and they are road and autocross tested.

depending on the wheel you may run into complications. I have 19" TSW Mondello's and they would hit the back of the stock stud rather then sitting flush against the wheel spacer. ended up having a local shave them down for me.

its really simple though as others have stated. pull your wheels off, nut the spacers to the wheel hub, nut the wheel to the wheel spacer, drive it for some time, take the wheel off and re-torque the spacers (I waited a few days), put the wheels back on and you're good to go. torque the spacers close to what you would torque your wheels to.

Mount the spacer to your car just like the wheel is mounted. Then mount your wheel to your spacer just like normal. Some wheels don't work because they don't have a space for the stud to fit.
