Default steering wheel vibration because of 20mm spacers?

anyone experience this? have had the spacers on for 3 or so months and notice around 50+ mph the issue. dealer "road force balanced" the tires, removed the spacers, and took it out and didn't see the issue anymore. now i am wondering if the rebalance fixed the issue or removing the spacers fixed this issue... anyone have similar issues running spacers?

Default 20MM/25MM (F/R) on my 1" lowered S5

Looks aggressive IMHO!

I too have the vibration at highway speed but it was there pre-spacer install.

Default sounds like the wheels may not have been properly balanced then...

or else you are seeing the other issue referenced here:

Possibly. Try on another set of 20mm spacers and see if it fixes the problem.

I've seen even some brand name spacers cause wobble on a wheel before.
