You're also adding leverage to the front, the extra force may be enough to feel an imbalance in your wheel/tire setup. If you can't sort it out with playing with the spacers, try that. I had issues with OEM ZCP wheels vibrating with spacers, aftermarket wheels were fine.

I've had 6 different sets of ECS spacers and until I figured out I needed to turn them to fit the hub, they vibrated. Also a set from h&r did the same

use a wire brush to clean the hub and matting surfaces. then apply a light coat of anti seize and install the spacer. turn the spacer a few times on the hubs to set them. install the wheel and torque with minimal weight on the tire. ( let the jack down just enough so the tire touches the ground).

I've ran spacers from ECS, TMS, MS, H&R, and a no name brand. All have performed the same. The only time i've experienced vibrations was due to not properly torquing down the wheel evenly.

Turner Motorsports spacers is what I have that caused an issue on my car. With my Apex Arc 8 wheels they caused a wobble on both sides. This is with lugs torqued with craftsman torque wrench:
I had to grind the spacers all around the center. They had a chamfer there that didn’t mate correctly with the inside of the wheels. This is what I did: This is how the wheels run now: Last edited by Biginboca; 02-17-2019 at 07:17 PM.. |

BTW, I installed this set up at Christmas and I had no idea it was doing this until 3 days ago. I was stopped at a red light and a guy rolled down his window to let me know my back tire was wobbling. I got out and looked all the lugs were tight and I felt nothing but I drove slowly and filmed with my cell phone out the window and sure enough could see the wobble when I watched the video. Never felt it at all and I’ve had the car over 120mph like that!
