Default Put H&R Spacers and Hubcentric rings - vibs near 130km/h and higher!

Any solution to this problem? I was told that putting hubcentrics would make the problem much less noticable but about 2 days after I put them on, I got the vibs again!

I was warned that this is a common consequence when adding spacers, but I was wondering if anyone had a fast and easy result without getting new wheels with the correct offset

Your help is appreciated in advance!

Thanks

Note: the spacers are 15mm all around and my wheels are ADR M-Sports +35

Well, if they ar H&R spacers, then they are already hubcentric, so not sure what you're trying to accomplish by putting hubcentric rings on; or am I misunderstanding something? The H&R spacers should not produce any vibration. I suggest taking them off and seeing if the problem persists. If so, you may just need your tires balanced.

Agreed, H&R are hubcentric spacers and should not produce any vibration. Also, consider re-torquing the bolts to make sure the wheels are seated properly.

I have 15mm H&R spacers on the rear of my stock 2006 18" wheels and no spacers on the fronts.

I have had it up to 130 MPH with no vibrations.


Did you have the car up to those speeds before you installed them?

His wheels require hub rings with or without using the spacers.

H&R Spacers are hub centric for the NISSAN OEM Hubs and NISSAN OEM Wheels.

I dont know of any Aftermarket wheel that has the same center bore size like the 350Z besides the NISMO LMGT4's...

99.999999% of aftermarket wheels have larger bore sizes so they will fit on other vehicles that have the same bolt pattern but a lager bore diameter...

Bore Size:

NISSAN 350Z / G35: 66.2

ACURA RSX for example: 64.1

I dont know the bore size of the ADR wheels, but you will need a hub ring for it...

What kind of hubrings did you get? Plastic or Aluminum?

I had the same problem and it was due to a lug nut issue. Have you changed nuts? Are you sure you are torqued Properly? The H&R Studs are very soft and can easily be threaded.

Thanx for the Help so far guys!

I purchased plastic hubcentrics!

I'm going to inquire about lugs and torquing the lugs properly

See if you can get Aluminum ones, the Plastic stuff seems to distort over time.

If you don't have one, I suggest purchasing a Torque Wrench, 5" Extension and a Deepwell Socket that fits your Lugs. All can be had for less than $50.

Hopefully you have measured the radial force imbalance of the tires mounted on wheels and they are below 11 pounds..............For high speeds: 5 pounds is a better number at the 3rd harmonic 120-130 mph.
