Cool Wheels Spacers installed!

Just installed some 20mm hubcentric spacers. For some reason, I get a vibration at 60+mph after the install. Should I have gotten Ichiba or HKS instead of the no names from ebay?

Edit/Update: Vibration fixed with this method - https://g35driver.com/forums/v36-diy...ation-fix.html

Anyway, it looks great. Steering definitely feels different. ****ty iPhone pics!

Looking good! But I would seriously consider new rims!

BTW, your wheel spacers are fine. Give Intg8r's fix a try:

Thank Intgr8r! I love his mods! BTW, I have Ichiba V2 spacers and had the vibration at 60-70mph (but I could also feel it when accelerating at lower speeds). This fixed it!

Wider stance makes for improved handling. I did notice that the steering is a little tighter at high speeds around turns. I don't know if I like that yet or not! But I did this mod simply for the look. AWD doesn't matter BTW!

even though you're rolling stock, the stance looks so much better now, great job.

Yup! But I'd go 25mm all around if I had to do it again.
