Resolving A Vibration Issue I'm running OEM C6 rims with hubcentric spacers on the rear 19s. I'm getting a vibration between 60 and 65 mph, even when I let the car coast in neutral between those speeds. The vibration seems to be coming from the rear as you can barely feel it in the wheel. I've had them balanced a couple of times. This last time they placed weights on the outer and inner portions of the rims. It's better, but still there. Does this sound like a problem with the tires, wheels or some kind of harmonic generated by the spacers?
Thanks,

Yeah, rid yourself of those spacers and then see how she sounds. Most people advise against spacers of any kind. I realize that is an entirely subjective point but...try it and see how she looks/sounds.

Thanks Guys,
Unfortunately these are the OEM rims and the rears have the +79 offset. They won't work without the spacers. However, I have been thinking about going back to 18s with an FBody offset so either way I will probably eliminate them.
