Default Back left wheel wobble

So yesterday I'm playing with my side mirror, it was all the way down. I could clearly see my back driver side wheel wobbling. Drove to a friends house. He confirmed that when I drive, The wheel wobbles. The car is 01 ls430 UL with asc680 data systems controller. I just installed 22.5 mm spacers and 19x8.5 +45 on 235/35. I checked spacer lugs and wheel lugs. All tight. Someone help!

Are your spacers hub centric? With a ring in the middle that adapts to the center bore on the hub? Most likely the spacers are culprit.

I would rule them out and go from there.

Remove spacers and see if it still wobbles.

I will try the spacer with oem wheel. And see if it continues. If so then oem no spacer. No they are not hubcentric

hubcentric or not, if the spacer is torqued correctly on the hub and the wheel is torqued correctly on the hub. the wheel would still be centered. i would remove that wheel and have it rebalanced, sounds like thats the problem.
