Exclamation Vibration with my new Vossens.....

Hey guys heres the problem

Dropped my g37 with the pro kit and put vossens on 20incn stag type, got the alignment done, tires roated and balanced, the works but theres still vibration when i go over 60 and its so annoying because i want my car to drive smoothly.
Anyone else have this issue and how can it be fixed?
Im pretty sure there are spacers on the wheels

Thanks!DOMO

"Im pretty sure there are spacers on the wheels" what do you mean? do you mean hub rings?

I've had vibrating issues with my set of volks too, and came to find that I was missing hub centric rings that wedge between the wheel and the bearing.

is it possible you have suspension problem?
I have the same thing on my stock wheels, but I know for a fact I have a rim that is slightly bent.
none the less I'm having my 20s mounted using a road force balance.
it simulates real driving conditions.
he's in li, and I should have my wheels this week.

The hub rings are in the mail, so I haven't installed them yet. But I'm 100% sure that is my problem and the vibration with stop once the hub rings are installed.

Different cars have different bearing sizes, The reason why most wheels need hub rings, is because the manufacturer made the wheel bore size (larger) to be universal. So the hub rings are used to wedge in between (if needed) to fill the gap.

If indeed the hub rings are the problem, the Infiniti/Nissan bearing is 66.1mm, then find out the wheel bore of the Vossen wheel (for example 73mm).

So you'll go find a hub ring that has an inner diameter of 66.1mm and outer diameter of 73mm.

Vossens should come w hub rings they are little pink rings that go inside your wheel that you must install with wheels, I didn't have mine and def caused vibration, do you have the rings? Or did they not come in the box?

Thanks guys

I got them installed at a wheel shop n wasnt there at time of install

Hopefully when i go monday theyll have the inserts i need but I def know thats the issue because ive babied the car since i got it.

Besides its annoying cuz there shouldnt be any vibration when u drive a 50k car with a 3k set of wheels know what im saying!

Just to add to this for future searches. there is a 30-35% chance when you go to get your wheels balanced the guy doing it doesn't know s**t!

So if you go to do this and hit over 60 MPH and it shakes. Take it back and complain or go somewhere else. This has happened to me 3 times since I purchased my rims. The Dealership always gets it right too.
