2003 g35 coupe steering wheel vibration

So I got my summer wheels put on , varrstoen es112 19/9.5 on 235/35/19 with 25 mm spacers and rear 19/11 on 275/30/19 with 15 mm spacers. I bought all new tires , nankang ns-20 Noble sport and I got the rears put on and drove fine and a few days later got the fronts put on and after they we're all on my steering wheel will shake around 80 km , it's pretty annoying especially having a fun fast car and not wanting to drive to fast due to the steering wheel shake. I recently put hub rings on and got the wheels re balanced which helped for about 50 km then back to normal. I called the shop to get it looked at to see if any weights came off but does anyone have any info that could help with my problem. Thanks in advance

Your wheels need to be balanced. Thats about it.

I had wheels balanced 3-4 times at 2-3 different places with the only change being either the vibration got less noticeable or vibration would just start at a different speed. One of the more reputable shops with a road force machine said it had something to do with 1-2 my tires but either way I just gave up.

Could just be bad tires....had it happen to me last year. They tried balancing them probably 8-10 times and couldn't get it. Fixed when a new set of tires was put on.

Ya got better, still somewhat noticeable. But way better.

Ya, tires are most likely the cause. Especially if wheels are new.

I had bad luck with Nankang tires. I went with Hankook instead. Another thing to check is your spacers. Do you have hub centric spacers? Make sure the little ring is tight!

Remove the spacers and see how it drives. That way you will know if it is the tires or not. I had a slight vibration running 25mm spacers. Eliminating the spacers was the best decision ever.
