Default new wheel spacer causing wheel shake @ 60 - 75 mph.

If you guys could help that would be great.
I purchased H&R 15mm wheel spacers a few days ago, slapped them on with no trouble at all.
Now when I reach 60 - 75 mph on the freeway my steering wheel vibrates violently.
I took them off , cleaned the hub for any particles that I missed the first time around. Re torqued them at 80 ft lbs. Still has the problem...

Any ideas of what it could be, if you could name some things to check I will do them one by one.

Thanks a lot for your input.

wheels might not be balanced?

resurface your brake rotors and use new brake pads

Make sure the spacer you have is #1 either hubcentric to the vehicle or #2 hubcentric to the wheel. I am almost sure that's where the problem may be. If you purchased H&R spacers, most of the time they are hubcentric to the vehicle but them your wheel may not be hubcentric to the spacer
