What spacers do you have especially on the front, any pictures ? take the car upto 70-80 and see if you feel any vibrations?

I値l grab the info. They are not the ECS ones but they池e older ones I had from some Audis I used to own.

I took the car up to 80 and was good, but started to get minor vibrations 85-90. I might try to reseat them and see.

The hub lips on the front will not do well with anything bigger than 3-5 mm trust me
Me and I.T Guy has spent more than enough time and money to have figured that out

Good to know, I値l give them one try for my own piece of mind. After that if they still vibrate (which based on what you said they will) I値l just take them off. I feel like the front hubs were machined ever so smaller. My specers slid in nicely in the rears but were ever so slightly loose in the front. I値l try to remember to grab my calipers to measure the front hub exactly.

The front hub is 10-11mm. I had 8mm spacers up front and the vibrations were terrible >80mph. Anything below 80, around town, it was all fine.

I meant the actual outer diameter of the hub. It痴 as if they are closer to 66mm not 66.6mm.
