2) change the tyres (currently on sime tyres)

U sure it's not coz of your ABS kicking in or your brake discs warped?

Anyway don't install spacers on FF cars unless you know what you are doing. Spacers decreases your rim's offset. For an FF car you need positive offset. Placing spacers might place the load on your suspension at a wrong angle and wear out parts much faster.

Hi,
From your pix, b4 and after, I couldn't really picture in my mind the spacer in itself. I just saw before, no yellow color. After install, yellow color from the center hub cap.

Could you PM me the location and phone number to get this spacer con. I need for my rear wheels.

By the way, what metal is it made of? Aluminium? Currently I have a spacer for my rear wheels but due to its aluminium material, the spacer gave way and now my rear wheel balancing is out. Thus shaking occurs.

Thanks!

most oem rims have this problem i.e. original rims from another car....spacers are also the culprit for this problem...anyway,check with friends or ur friendly regular foreman...there might be other problem that causes ur steering to shake....or u might just try out the front first...see whether the problem decrease or not...if not kasi tiaw kaw-kaw the tauke....good luck
