So I just got back from the tire shop and still have no alignment. He wouldnt touch it because I have spacers with lug bolts. He says that Im not getting enough pressure on the spacers and that is what is most likely causing my car to shake. He suggested a stud conversion then an alignment and the problem will go away. Ever heard of such a thing? A stud conversion.. :sly:

you need to pony up the cash and make an appointment with Protech.... When I was in SC the only place I would go to for any work and especially alignments was PROTECH..... They know these cars and much higher end cars.... the garage you went to sounds like they have never done anything with a german car......:(

Yeah he knew they came like that, he was saying that basically since I have lug bolts with spacers that the lug isnt able to tighten down the spacer enough to prevent movement. So he said to get a stud with an open end with an allen fitment then to install et nuts to offer more pressure on the wheel and spacer. Im gonna call protech and find out what they have to say.

if you are using hubcentric spacers and the longer lug bolts with the correct seating (conical or ball depending on your wheels) you are fine..... been running this type of setup for YEARS!!! on autocross cars to street cars....
