who will balance with wheel spacers?
i just put some wheel spacers on my 04 v6 and now everything is off balance. discount tire and NTB both said they wouldnt balance my rims with the wheel spacers. does anyone know who will? i need to get them balanced and soon! my steering wheel is kinda freaking out
 haha. but its not as bad as when my car was shaking from my rear wheels being out of balance!

you got some bad spacers.... it's not possible with normal balancing equipment to balance with a wheel spacer plus, if the wheel spacer is made right, you will NEVER have a balancing problem.. especially since the spacer has such a small diameter.. if that made a difference, you'd have to get balanced w/ lug nuts and everything... what about ppl that have a locking nut.. it's probably not the same weight as the reg. lugs.. anywho.. if you're having balancing problems, it's either your wheel, or a crappy spacer.. if the wheels are propperly balanced, it will not shake.

ok well i talked to my friend and he said that the spacers might just be moving around or not correctly aligned and i need some bushings or something to hold them in place? idk im going to try taking them off and putting them back on and makin sure they are centered and everything. anyone know if this is right?

hubcentric rings.... yea.. that's very possible.. if the holes for the studs are too big it'll move around on the hub

make sure when you bolt your spacers down, you clean the hub EXTREMELY well, it may not be flush and throwing it off...
