    Default Steering Wheel vibe post hub centric spacers install

    I love the more aggressive stance, but I have never had to contend with the wheel vibes I had on the way back from Mosport yesterday.

    Everything is torqued to 80 and has been rechecked. Even though it would take time, I may just remove the spacers and give it a go.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Front spacers now removed and vibrations are gone.

    For reference, what brand spacers were you using?

    were they sitting flush against the face of the rotor and wheel? sometime hub centric accessories will catch on at an angle and wont straighten out even when torqued

    50 shades of silver

    How big of a spacer, and brand? If they are not hubcentric, it's much harder to get the rim to sit perfectly centered. If it's not, you will have the vibes.
