That's good to know. Did you test front and back?

Or are you only running spacers up front?

Running spacers f&r w/ Jline setup...just got back from a drive w/ stock setup and.........

no vibrations were noticed....(running 17's w/o spacers f&r) So I guess it has got to be the spacers or bolts. I just don't think Jline would send me 2 wheels that are bent. My wheels have offset lips, so the fronts and rears are different. I just kind of have the feeling that having only 4 loose thread catching was causing the vibration. I guess I'll know the answer to that one when I get my new bolts from purems. Thanks for the help!

Peace
Jordan
