Post Spacer Install Wheel Shake?

As you know I just install Ichiba v2 25mm spacers. Easy straight up install... But at 60 mph I have increased steering wheel shake. Is it a result of spacer install? Size of spacer or simply alignment is off... It does pull to the right. Thanks for your help!:eek.:
 
i had the same problem with 20 mm v2 spacers, took the spacers off, got wheel balancing, thing's about 80% reduced, now it shakes when I hit the brakes even though my pads are just fine. you can do your alignment and find out if that's the problem.
 
I still have them on, the vibration isn't as bad. like i said the steering wheel vibration is there and car goes left when i brake a bit harder than usual. and i only drive about 15 miles a day at less than 50 mph. so i am not bothered much. i need my alignment done too.
 
I just put my H&R 25mm's and springs on almost three weeks ago. i have a slight shudder in steering wheel around 40 mph, but anything over 60mph+ i have no issues. i havent gotten an alignment done yet either, giving another two weeks for the springs to settle. I also need to replace my tie rod ends too, so maybe after all this is done, the shudder will go away.
 
after I bought the wheels n tires that came along with it, I installed them with the spacers and that's when it was vibrating badly, I mean at 30 mph. so I got them balanced at discount tire after I took the spacers off n then put them back on again. the vibration then went away, what remains is the steering wheels shake when I brake hard.

Gotcha! Much appreciated! Can I not get the tires balanced with the spacers on? Or did you take them off to find the route of the problem? Thanks man!

Oh I have zero shutter braking but have rather new ebc rotors n pads. I only vibrate between 60-80 mph...
 
discount tire refused to balance my tires with the adapters on so I had to take them off n go there again to get it balanced.

Shaking while braking is warped rotors.

but all of a sudden!!!
started happening after I put the 20"s on, didn't have this issue at all with the 18"s.
 
Can't wait to join the "Spacer League". My H&R 25mm will is schedule to arrive this Wed. Just came back from an alignment, I replace both outer tie rod yesterday. She is all ready for some spacer. Hoping the wheels still in balance.

Aerobfa, stop by if you need a hand with the tie rod. Took me an hour for both side.

Over-tightening lug nuts can warp rotors, at least I believe that's what someone on here said. Maybe that's what happened to you?
 
Well that could explain it haha. I'm scared to let them touch anything aside from my tires and wheels, and the wheel is scary enough. Just had bad experiences with them putting lug nuts on backward and messing up threads. Wouldn't be surprised if they air gun those nuts on way too hard.
