Default HUBCENTRIC RINGS not SPACERS

A few weeks back i posted about a strange shake when i used the brakes at high speeds that was so bad i couldn't drive the truck on the highway. it all started when i put on my new XDs. I got alot of recomendations from people but nothing work. I was stumped along with eveyone who read the thread. 2 weeks ago not i installed hubcentric rings. They resolved 98% of the problem. i can still feel an extremely minor shake that i think i only feel because i'm looking for it. i just wanted to post the fix to the problem for those who helped and those in the future who have this issue

i do not think that my vibration is the same as what your talking about. Mine came with my new aftermarket wheels. I used hubcentric rings and it fixed it

Put your stock rims back on...if you still have same problem them its the rims not your brakes...this happened to me the rims were warped...or something likethat but i put the stock wheels back on and the vibration vanished!

try having a shop balance your rims with the fingers that go in the lug nut holes instead of the centre cone Solved my problem that was a pain in the A$$ for 5 years.
