Steering wheel vibrations, please help!

Recently I've been noticing my steering wheel vibrates while crusing on the highway and what not. I know that if it vibrates while braking it has to do with the rotors, but this isn't even while braking. I assume it could also be the wheels/tires are out of balance and need to get balanced again, but could this spring up just randomly?

Also, I am running 3mm spacers up front, but I'd imagine 3mm spacers wouldn't cause it, especially since I've been running them for almost 2k and just recently noticed the vibrations/shaking...

Any suggestions?

Thanks

It should be from tire/wheel.....most probably balance. However not limited to bent wheel, tire out of round etc....

Yeah, I'm think its a bent wheel. I remember htiting a pretty severe pot hole a while back, didn't think this would be the case though. I'll try balancing/rotating them tomorrow and see what happens.

Thanks!

check your balance on your rim. 3mm spacer thats not centered under your wheel can cause vibrations. I put 8mm spacers on my new rims to clear brembos and didn't center caused vibrations after. My wheels where new and came prebalanced. Check that, my vibrations were gone after I recentered mine.
