I bought 2 -12mm spacers from Burger Motorsports, and they fit really perfect on the front.

That got the front track close to same as back, and now car drives right with no sway or vibration either.
Thanks for your reply. I think you made some comments about this some time back I remember, which prompted my Question about fitting Spacers with different wheel/hub Centre Bores, Thanks.

100 mph = 160 kph. Our Max. Speed Limit over here is 100 kph, with some Freeways allowing 110 kph. At 110/120 Kilometers per hour my car is steady without any heavy crosswinds. We have to many Greedy Speed Cameras on our highways.

My Original SQ. Set Up is 17x7.5 34 O/Set c/w 225/50/17 RFT's.
Now F 18x7.5 35 O/set 225/45/18 Non RF's PSS - 1mm in.
R 18x9.0 40 O/set 255/40/18 Non RF's PSS - Around 24/25mm in and 13/14mm out.
You can see them on the Photo Thread, Titled - My Alpine White -.
I originally got 4x 18x7.5 from O/Seas. Chrome HD Wheels. Family are mad about Chrome. After fitting I wanted Wider so tried to sell here with no interest SO I got 2x 9.0 and am happy with look.
Once PSS wear out might upsize to F 235's which is I think is the Max. Recommended for a 7.5" and R 265's.
My preferred Wheels would be F 18x8.5 and R 18x9.5. Love 19's but Road Conditions here need good Profile.
I will eventually be getting BC Coilovers which cost close to AUD$2,000 here Fitted.
Sorry for long comments.
Cheers.
