With shaking at speed, the things that should be checked (in order, for the most part) would be:

Tire (tire damage, uneven wear, balance)
Wheel (damage, bends, balance)
Alignment
Shocks
Tie Rods
Ball Joints


This list might not be complete, but afaik, these are the things that can contribute to a shaky wheel at speed.

I had to get spacers to fit the new rim and tires that I got because I was told that the front rims where bent and that is why there is a shake.

If your wheels are in fact bent, don't bother with anything else. They would need to be repaired (if possible) or replaced. You can't compensate for a bent wheel.
