Wheel Spacers causing steering wheel shake

I have added 1.5" wheel spacers to my stock wheel setup to give it a better stance. Looks much better! I now have a steering wheel shake at higher speeds. Anything I can do to solve this problem?

Remove the spacers



I've never had any experience with wheel spacers but maybe you need to get an alignment after installing them

Any change to the front end, get an alignment.

What kind of spacers did you get?

Im assuming with 1.5", youd get the bolt on ones. Ive had these for a while, and I do get a slight shake at higher speeds, but, nothing too bad...of course I dont know if thats just my 35" mtrs or the spacers.

Sounds more like a balance issue, since the Yota's are bolt centric vs. hub centric. Look around for someone that does on-vehicle tire balancing. I haven't seen any in my area lately but I would think there are some shops that still do it.
