Also what torque are you using on your wheel nuts? 65 ft/lb is enough.

Steve, I'm only running the dba 4000s with no spacers. Torque wrench is set to what ever the book has for the normal requirements, 80 - 90 Nm from memory, but they weren't that tight when I took the wheel nuts off, actually thought they should have been tighter, but forgot to look at the wrench because the rim was causing so many issues.
