my xe corsa vibrates like hell at 60mph - 75mph, ive had the car tracked, ive had wheels balanced, ive even tried a different set of alloys and it still vibrates. ive got 10mm spacers on the front as i only have 3mm clearance between my vmax coilovers and cesaros. im also forced to have my camber as negative as it can go just to get the clearance. would the spacers or the camber cause this problem ?

its probably wheel wobble. the wheel bolts shouldnt be holding the weight of the wheel, the hub should be.

yeah but if i fit spiggots that will hold the spacers but it wont hold the spacers so do i need 2 sets of spiggots?

if your wheels need spiggot rings (which you shouldnt because they're vauxhall alloys) then you will only need them on the wheels. either get some 10mm hubcentric spacers or get some 3mm non hubcentric spacers to give you abit more clearance

3mm is no way near enuf and i cant afford hubcentric spacers atm but mite look into it after xmas, the coilovers are causing me a big problem because there so close to my wheels. if they wasnt so close then wouldnt need the spacers !

i could wedge a pound coin between my tyre and the coilover, not once did it touch. your camber must be a mile out or do you have fat tyres?
