      90mm wheel studs are tight, as are my wheel nuts.

        Maybe try getting them balanced on a machine that road forces them. It should catch any out of round wheel problems.

          yes, the wheel can still balance out. think about a crank shaft. those are no where near uniform but they are still balanced.

            Not sure on specific torque, I just tightened them with my breaker bar, like I've always done. I'll pop them off and torque them tomorrow, 70ftlb?
            no,80 to 90ftlb. i do 90. do you need hub centric spacer for wheel?

              So, I lied. My tires developed some super, super subtle flat spots. A full day of drifting the fronts and some passes on the rear rounded 'em up.

              Sorry to be such a knob, thanks for the assist, guys.
