Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
I have an 06 4runner Ltd and I did the bilstein 5100s all around and maxed out the front at 2.5" and I kept the stock springs. In the rear I had Old Man Emu springs (885s I believe) installed and then everything was alligned. I also did the brake line extension and rdd.
Now I wanted the wider stance to fill the wheelwells up so I decided to go with the blue spydertrax wheel spacers.
I had this all installed by a professional brake and alignment shop in Langley. I notice vibration at about 50-55 mph. At lower speeds I hardly feel any wheel vibration but when I'm hitting hwy speed and my hand is at the bottom of the wheel I feel a slight shake. It drives me crazy. Im a picky guy! The wheels are balanced and I didnt have this vibration before the spacers and lift. These are the hub centric ones so I didnt expect this!! I dont think the lift that I'm running would cause this either??
Has anyone experienced this before? If I remove the front spacers do I need another alignment before I can road test it? I dont want to get rid of them, they make it look so nice and fat!!
Sorry for the long post, hope to here some good feedback.
I have brand new Yokahama Geolander A/T-S on the stock wheels and then bought the FJ Cruiser wheels for the winter with the Yokahama Geolander I/T G072 snows. Awesome tires if anyone is looking for a great snow tire!!
One more thing, I'm running the stock 18" tire size that toyota recommends with the lift and spacers and I still had to do some trimming???
Especially with the snows which are a 265/65/R17. I havent removed the mudflaps yet but they do rub there a bit under full turn with a bit of a camber.
How do people run a bigger tire? What are the tricks? Do I need to add spacers up front and what size? I'd like to run the Cooper Discover Stts like I had on my TRD but I dont think I can with this set up? Whats wrong with it?
