i'm noticing a vibration in my steering wheel at 75mph or so. at certain speeds it comes, then it seems to go..butm ostly the faster I go.

I hae the maxspeed motorsports spacers on my car - 7mm front `14mm rear. I think I had some vibration before htey went on, but honestly don't remember.

i had my car aligned/balanced 3000 miles ago. that was a year ago.

i could spend an hour or so, remove spacers, then drive...

or leave the spacers on, get it balanced....

just curious if there is any general consensus if wheel spacers tend to cause vibration or if that is rare?
