As the title suggest, im just interested to know the ratio of wheel vibration associated with spacers.

Thanks for the input.

 

anyone? :P

 

mild vibration, but it's there at about 70mph. Feels as though tires are unbalanced. Not there without the spacers and there with two different setups. Next time I do a rim change, I will remount the spacers being carefull to gradually tighten the nuts sequentially.

 

Thanks Mishmosh.

Let us know if that works for ya.

 

i have the 15mm Ichibas in the rear and i get a vibration between 45-60 mph. only noticeable with the windows up and radio down... but still. i dont want to install on the front bc i dont want more vibration and definitely dont want to feel it in the steering wheel.

 

loooks like there is a common factor here.

 

I have a mild vib at highway speeds >120km/h.

I have Ichiba V2 & I think I found the problem.
...& a possible solution.
I need to take a few pics & do a test to confirm.

Note:
My issue applies to OE wheels only.

 

Indeed.

Thanks for the replies guys. Keep it coming.

 

are you guys torquing them to the factory spec's in the star pattern? I never got a vib from any of the hubcentric spacers that I have used.

 

Might I suggest having everyone add some details to their reply?

-type of spacer (integrated lugs or traditional)
-thickness
-brand
-hubcentric?

 

1) traditional i suppose
2) 15mm (rear only)
3) ichiba v2
4) dont know what hubcentric means- but i assume you guys will be able to tell me that based on the info above. i obviously had them installed by a shop.

btw- im also using these with stock journey 17" wheels- so i am looking fwd to InTgr8r's test

 

+10000!!

You may get vibration if not torqued to spec in the proper pattern even w/o spacers.

 

Is this common knowleadge among auto shops/dealerships?

to torque the wheels in a star pattern? cuz I never knew this.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Yes, it's SOP

 

You are darn right it is common knowledge in shops and among most car DIY'ers.
As a matter of fact it is law that shops must torque your wheels to the proper spec.
