Spacer Rear-Wheel Wobble

[NE Ohio 911]

I just put 15 mm spacers on the rear wheel. They are the type that bolt down on the existing studs. Now the rear wheel has a bad wobble. Could I have cranked the spacer down too much impacting the wheel bearing?

Had the same problem.
Check that the nuts that hold the spacer are not touching the back side of your wheels. If you have this problem and you have Fuchs wheels or aluminum wheels you will notice that theres is a gouge where the nut is touching the wheel.
I had this same problem with 15x8 fuchs wheels . The 16 inch wheels have a space which allows the nut to clear and does not touch the wheel. I solved it by grinding the wheel where there was the interference.

I have 16 inch whells and the passenger side is fine.

Is the spacer hubcentric because if not you may get a high speed wobble and need hubcentric spacers.
