without the spacer the rear wheel will sit too far in....might just buy a hubcentric one...

Yeah doesn't sound right to me, there must be a underlying problem somewhere?  :huh:

Hmmm I wouldnt expect that to give you shakey steering although I would still get a hub centric one on there.
First thing I would do is get the balancing checked on the wheels could be something as simple as one of the weights having fallen off.
