i have put two new wheel spacers on why does it make my steering wheel shake when i drive only at 40 miles an hour.

why does my RPM drop and my car dies on me when i'm driving.
i just put on a z32 Maf. caliberated with POWER FC to work already.

theres an imbalance somewhere, its either your tires or its your spacers. If it didn't do it before the spacer install, my money's on the spacers. What kind of spacers do you have?

did you get wheel alignment?

Well I gotta ask but did you tighten the lugs good on the Spacer?

Have you re-torque the spacer lugs after the first couple of miles or so? Also i would check to make sure there is no debris between the spacer and the hub. This has happened to me in the past with a burr from when i drilled my
q45 rotors. A small burr caused the rotor to not seat properly and caused my wheel to shake at certain speeds.
