R34 Gtr Rims On A Gtt

[Nachos]

Hey guys,

I recently put some GTR rims on my GTT, Im running 20mm spacers as well. I have a slight problem and i thought id ask to see if anyone can verify my theory. I had my rims and tyres (Kumho KU36's) aligned and balanced by bob jane a couple of days ago, so im sure this cannot be the issue.

When im driving below 100 kilometers the steering wheel is fine and there is no vibration, however yesterday i was cruising up the F3 and noticed the steering wheel start vibrating when i was driving ~ 90-100 + Kms. This would go and come every once in a while. Now the steering wheel was shaking, but the car was still going straight...

Does anyone know if the wider rims with spacers is making this problem? or has had this problem before

Thanks Michel

Are your spacers bolt on hubcentric items? All torqued down correctly etc?

Hubcentric, yep, they seem to be fastened the right way?

remove spacers, drive on hwy

if problem persists it is not the spacers

Balanced on or off the car? my guess is they balanced off the car, then fitted rims up with spacers which has thrown the balance out.

I also wouldn't be letting a franchise wheel/tyre mob anywhere near my cars.

Thanks for all the responses guys!

Yeh Joey I think I might just have to do that.

Bubba they were balanced whilst on the car.

So noone has had this problem before with spacers???

Thanks for the help guys, all good I went back a re balanced the tires and it's fine, they must have not balanced it the first time...

Cheers Michel

r34 gtr wheels would be just outside the guard as it is without spacers...

How old are the tyres? I've got the same issue with mine, it's because the front tyres are about 4 years old now and they don't locate on the rim very well.
