Please provide some facts if you're going to post statements like this. I have H&R spacers on all four corners. I've driven my Z on tracks and auto-x, and have no issues at all (if installed correctly). As a matter of fact, it improves my handling.

Again, I'll be waiting for the facts that supports the statement that you posted.

I am currently running on stockers while other wheels are being painted. I had some Ichiba 15mm spacers installed last weekend (longer studs and all). And I have been getting wheel vibrations ever since. I have checked the following:

1) Lug nuts - They are secure and tight
2) Hubcentric-ness - The hubcentric spacers fit the stock wheels perfectly, so there's no play there.

Here's what I found:
The holes on the spacers which the wheels studs go through are larger in diameter than the studs. So although the spacer sits dead center on the hub, it does have some play and can rotate slightly to the left and right (a few degrees each eay). In other words, they are not stud-centric (is that an actual term?)

I think this is the cause of the vibrations. Anyone concur? How do I go about fixing it?

Thanks in advance

Hubcentric wheel spacers is for your hub, for your alxe hub fitment which mean the wheel spacers won't move around between your rotors and wheels.

Hubcentric wheel spacers are not the case of the vibrations.

If you are using any stock or aftermarket wheel, you need the hub ring for your wheel to fix your vibration like the pic below.
