Spacers shouldn't cause vibrations unless they're installed wrong.

Shoot me a PM with the email on your ECS account and I'll look and see what's going on.

Also you're X looks killer with those spacers.

Some here (myself included) needed to trim 1/16" off the OE bolts to fit the H&R 25mm DRA spacers. This is to prevent the bolts from bottoming out on the hub face. Here's a pic of mine on the H&R 25mm DRA and a pic of a bolt that was severely bottomed out on the hub causing it to become unremovable from the spacer.

Key word in your statement is "shouldn't". Spacers can amplify small problems in the suspension and make them feel much more severe. I know this from previous experience with my e39. Had to replace subframe bushings and rear control arms. They were obviously in need of replacement but the spacers made the rear wheels shake.

Sorry for the Naive question but

Spacers purpose?? Looks? or something else?

TiAgX5, is this your X on the picture with the aftermarket wheels?
If yes, it bay be the center of the wheel that is not as thick as a OE wheel and causing the bolt to be too long.
People with aftermarket wheels and 25mm DRA spacers should take a look.

95% looks
5% I do have a different feel when I take hard corners, can't say it handles better, but can't say it handles worse, the seX5 turns harder then it did b4 after 45' degrees of the steering wheel

Do you really have to post that same pic of your X5 in every thread related to spacers/wheels?

The spacers still didn't cause the vibration though. It was caused by the failing suspension components.
