Wheel spacers, hub rings, and wheel shake? SOS

I hope that you checked the slotted washer underneath was loose and can float a bit. This allows your bearings to expand when hot. 

Yup! I had help when reassembling. One of the head techs at work was on the lift next to me and was kind enough to walk me through it

The center bore for the spacers was just slightly too small so they wouldn’t seat quite right. 

 

 

Oh wow, yeah, that would do it!  Can't say I've seen that happen with spacers less than 10mm thick.  Glad you are getting it sorted.

It’s funny, mine castellated nuts were barely even hand tight the first time I took the hubs off of this car.

That's about right- tight enough that the bearings just barely have some slop in them.  Like, .01mm.  If there's no movement at all, they

might be too tight.  If there's more than just the slightest clunk, they're loose.

 

Very unlike most domestic and other RWD vehicles, where a bit of preload's a must.
