Front wheels spacers/alignment help

I installed pfadt coilovers and they were hitting on the tires.. so I installed a set of HR 20MM SPACERS AND they don't seem to be right?? the lug nuts (gorilla locks don't seems to be going on enough.. (maybe they are just didn't seem right)...
But my biggest problem is the front in shaking I can feel it in the steering wheel big time... I am wondering if I need to realign now that I added the spacer and that is what is causing the shake??

thanks for the Help

20mm seems like a big spacer. If you get a spacer that big it seems like you would need longer studs.

If I got new rims, tires, coilovers, etc, id probably get a new alignment just to be safe.

Did you really need to space it out that far?

Did you get a spacer or an adapter. I would not run a 20mm spacer with the stock lugs. That is dangerous. Make sure the spacer is Hubcentric. If not the wheel will not seat right and you will get vibes.

when I had front h&r adapters I had to grind the tips of the studs on car itself not the studs on the adapters, they were hitting the back of the wheel keeping the wheel from mounting flush onto the adapter. Thats probably your case hence all the vibration and very unsafe check that asap......
