When installing spacers be sure to:
A) Ensure the hub size is the same, if not invest in a set of hub rings to MAKE them fit B) Clean the spacer and the hub, any bits of rust of dirt can't be in them. Any of this can cause the hub to not be perfectly aligned and cause vibrations C)Be sure to torque down your wheels in a star pattern, if you don't know what that is google it. I always take ~3 steps in tightening mine down, prgressivelt tighter each time. If you do these 3 things you should be able to get rid of any steerig wheel wobble or vibrations from the rear caused by spacers of any size. |

I had the same issue...come to find out that there were these thin plastic "spacers that go between the hub and the spacers themselves. When I put on my winter wheels the car vibrated when I hit 40-60mph. If your spacers came with those plastic spacers...put them on and it should stop the vibrations.
