Need Help, SSRs with serious vibration
My new SSRs 18s are causing serious vibration. The rims were bought on Ebay (huge mistake) and did not come with hubcentric rings or spacers or lugnuts as the ad described. I bought what I thought were hubcentric 3mm spacers for front after the fact. They did not improve the problem. Does anyone who has run these rims or other aftermarkets that required spacers and different lug nuts have any recommendations? Perhaps my spacers are not true hubcentric. Anyone know where I can get these? Need help , Please any suggestions?

Wheels have been balanced. I feel it is these spacers that are causing problem. I think I will create a new post with hopes someone knows where to find high quality hubcentric spacers. Thanks

Jon, I have tried to get them from tirerack but it seems if you do not buy from them they do not sell just the ssr hubcentric spacers. Did you need any hubcentric rings or spacers in the rear. It seems I have some vibration from the rear even though I did not use these cheap spacers. I would gladly buy yours and pay for any shipping costs? Let me know. Thanks

Luke from The Tire Rack had the correct spacers made for me. The rears will need spacers also. With my brake kit I don't need spacers. You can have the 2 spacers that I have in stock.
