^^^^^^

this. manufacturers can say that 5mm spacers wont vibrate all they want, but on this car, there is not enough of the hub for the wheel to properly stay secured without vibration.

ive cleaned the HELL out of the mounting face and they still vibrate. ive had a mechanic from a top shop in houston install them (took his time for 30 minutes) and still couldnt get rid of the vibration. this is using MS and turner 5mm spacers.

without hub lips, the vibration will be there. bottom line imo
