Title: Just fitted 16s now I've got the shakes
Post by: DigiDub on 30 September 2009, 21:00: I've just yesterday put my 16s on my GTi all was well n gd until I went to work today. When drivin ova 55 the steering wheel wobbles enough 2 be noticable. I am wondering if I need to get sum 3mm spacers as the et is only 32? Am I thinking right or do I have another problem on my hands?? Any help would be gd peeps.

Many cheers n thanks all round :smiley:

Post by: boneybradley on 30 September 2009, 21:42: as said..try balancing first,and while there off check how the wheels fit over the hub centre (as some need spiggot rings to locate them centrally) also give the hub fave a rub over with wet/dry paper
