what are the spacers, shitty cheap steal ones??
sounds like its fucked up your balancing.....

Go to a garage and ask for your wheels balancing - should be no more than £25.

is tht all it could be though dont wanna have to pay for wheels balancing if tht it the problem
coz they were fine before i put the spacers on

 

[jesus]

Did you give the hubs a good clean/scrub before you put them on? Are they the spacers that bolt to the hub?

 

[K80 NCH]

nope i had to buy long bolts does tht make any difference like?

 

[jesus]

How big are the spacers?

 

[K80 NCH]

the wheel could be bent or spacers not put on properly checky everything to make sure it is right and does it pull to one side more than the other ?

 

[K80 NCH]

wouldnt say it pulls
just wobbles and it didnt before

 

[Adz]

ok before it was fine so what have you put on the car since ?

seriously mate..........take them off clean them, clean the disc where they mount and reinstall...........its things like this that discourage lots of people using them.

btw if they are still wobbling they may be bent? I am a machinist by trade and suggest its more likely abit of sh.t between the spacer and wheel or spacer and disc.

Are the spacers hubcenrtric?
Id guess not, if not then thats your problem, the wheels arent sitting on the actual hubs just the shoulders of the wheel bolts so are not sitting 'square' on the hub..
Cheap shitty spacers do this, buy some hubcentric ones or ditch the things....
