20mm H&R Spacers = Vibration

[iMak]

Hi,

I've fitted 20mm H&R Hub-centric Spacers on all four wheels on my 2012 RS200, but now I'm getting vibration on front wheels when driving 100-110 KM/H.

Is it normal? Do you have the same issue?

Regards,

My 20mm sparco spacers give no vibration. Are you sure that there isn't any dirt or anything in between the hub and the spacer or the wheel?

I've wire brushed and cleaned all the hubs before fitting.

Did you use the correct length bolt...

Hi Chris,
The bolts came with the hubs when I purchased them from cartuningpoint seller on eBay.
The bolts are longer than the original ones.

The bolts were tightened with air compressor impact wrench, do you think not tightening to a proper torque causes the vibration?

It would be worth checking yes. If some are lose you'll get vibration.

Good news, I removed the front wheels and wire brushed the hubs "found some dirts on the right hub" cleaned the hubs and the spacers put back the wheels, tightened the bolts with a torque wrench to 110 Nm (81 lbf.ft). No sign of vibrations[emoji4]
