You positive you re-tightened the spacers lugs and not just the wheel lug nuts? If you get vibration at speed right after installing spacers it is because the wheel is loose. Take the wheels off and recheck the spacer lugs again. I've seen this happen a million times.

Yeah we check everything today again. Everything was tightened correctly but we think we figured out what the problem was. Since I am on CR wheels not the ap2v2's like most, the recessed cutouts on the inside of the hub are not as deep, Im guessing the studs are a few mm's too long and once the wheel were pulled off you can see where they are making contact with the wheels (thought once mounted they appear flush on the spacer). got an alignment and re tightened the front, most of the shake went away but still light vibration.

the cut out on the cr wheels are as deep as the nsx not as deep like v1's or v2's

Anyone else have this same problem while running the v3's? Was thinking of running a 25mm spacer in the front?

im completely stock, and was thinking about getting some skunk2 springs, and some spacers. i was thinking 15mm in front and 20mm in rear will work without cutting anything, but im a noob and really dont know.

i want to be pretty flush, but no rubbing/cutting. what do?

I got some 20mm spacers for sale if you need them. They are for the fronts since im going 25mm up front. under 100 mile on them so pretty much new.

I had skunk2 springs, with 20mm front and 25mm rear and the fronts never rubbed. just had to roll the fenders and relocate the rear bumper tab.

No rubbing with 20mm fronts. I'm Eibach springs currently and have plenty of room still. Im going 25mm front to get it as flush a possible and even then with some slight camber I should be okay.
