Default Hub centric spacers?

I posted about a month ago regarding getting new Lexani R4s and having heavy wobble and vibration past 50mph. I was going to do the road force balancing but my local tire shop (Action Tire NJ) indicated it is most likely the spacers if they are not a perfect fit - hub centric. I want to order these online, does anyone know a specific brand hub centric space for the GSfsport that will clear the brakes? I want to make sure I order the correct ones, when it comes to spacers I am not 100 percent.

Thanks!

I'll add I have had these spacers for a good 10 years with my first 08 GS.

H&R makes a quality spacer in the 150-200 range. I purchased a set off Amazon by StanceMagic for like $30 which even the guys at Lexus said were of great quality. What you’re looking for is for the grooves in the metal face to be noticeable. If it’s just one flat piece of metal, it might not be of the best quality. Make sure you also buy the right spacer not just for the bolt pattern. The bore needs to be 60.1mm or else it won’t fit properly either. It will be cutout in the middle juuuust wide enough so that it fits over the hub when putting it on. You’ll see what i’m talking about when you do it.

Don’t forget to apply loctite to the nuts that attach to the hub bolts and to apply antiseize lubricant between the spacer and the hub when you throw these on. These will keep them secured to your hub but at the same time easy to take off whenever you might need to. Hope this helps!
