They are hubcentric custom made, when they are hot(driving for 20-30 mins) they dont creak, but when i start the car in the morn and i pull out of the driveway and stop they creak and its loud or on short drives...
i dont have vibration problems, i used to before but that was because of the balancing.
ive gone up to abt 120-125 with the spacers on and its smooth.
any suggestions before i try using the wd-40?
i dun wanna have to keep spraying WD-40 after i wash the car, or after rain...

maybe you need to replace your brakes, have you tried retorking the lugs ? IDK if spraying some wd 40 is such a good idea as it may contact the surface of ur rotors

I do not think it is your spacers making the noise. It has to be something else causing the sound (IE brakes, bearings, etc). Even if your brakes are fairly new, it could still develop a squeak/sound.

its probably not the spacers. if the wheels are torqued theres no way that the spacers could move to make noise. but if you think it is try putting some anti-seize between the contact surfaces.

Maybe try using some brake grease on the back of your spacers

Its whats used on the back of your brake pads to stop squealing and chattering
