Tires wobble after spacers

Your front wheels are probably not on all the way. Take one off and see if the OEM studs are hitting the back of the wheels - this is common

Your front wheels are probably not on all the way. Take one off and see if the OEM studs are hitting the back of the wheels - this is common with 20mm bolt on spacers on the front wheels.

I've had 20mm on before, I had to grind out a few millimeters of clearance on the back of the front wheels. Alternatively, you can also trim the stock studs or replace them with ones a few mm shorter.

When you pull off a wheel you should be able to see where the contact is taking place and it will make sense.

Agreed. If you're using type II 20mm bolt-on spacers with OEM wheels that have insufficient relief on the back side for the protruding studs, you're likely to experience some wobble/vibration. Switch to type I spacers with extended studs or go with 25mm type II spacers instead.

OEM wheels have a 66.1 center bore and don't require hubcentric rings.
