Tires wobble after spacers

Lvcky69

Hello, so I was driving on a highway going like 65mph and some random person pulled up to my side and told me that one of my tires were wobbling, i didn't ask him which one so I pulled over and made sure every lug nuts were tight..i used a torque wrench and tighten them 100 pounds when I installed the wheel spacers..20mm front, 25mm rear..they were not tight enough but then again I didn't feel no shakes or vibration when driving at high speeds. I didn't get the apr extended wheel studs btw. I'm not sure if my tires are wobbling or not as I don't feel anything. I'm using these spacers on oem wheels/lug nuts

When I was younger, my uncle would pull along people on the highway and tell them their wheels were spinning while motioning his fingers to them in a circular manner as a joke. Kinda messed up now that I think about it but maybe he got you with it?!!?

Your front wheels are probably not on all the way. Take one off and see if the OEM studs are hitting the back of the wheels - this is common with 20mm bolt on spacers on the front wheels.

I've had 20mm on before, I had to grind out a few millimeters of clearance on the back of the front wheels. Alternatively, you can also trim the stock studs or replace them with ones a few mm shorter.

When you pull off a wheel you should be able to see where the contact is taking place and it will make sense.

If there was enough wobble to eyeball, you should have felt it. Sounds to me like somebody was f**king with you. Easy enough to check - jack up each wheel and give 'em a spin.

Do you know if you need hub centric rings? That's what I used with my spacers.

Beside all thats been mentioned, if still in doubt, have a friend or family member drive along your side to see if they see the wobbling or anything weird, better safe than sorry.

Agreed. If you're using type II 20mm bolt-on spacers with OEM wheels that have insufficient relief on the back side for the protruding studs, you're likely to experience some wobble/vibration. Switch to type I spacers with extended studs or go with 25mm type II spacers instead.

OEM wheels have a 66.1 center bore and don't require hubcentric rings.
