Yeah, with hub-centric and tapered seat lugs, I was on the same wavelength. All my studs were tight when I removed them (red lock-tite is a bitch).
I did talk to one shop locally and he said that on his M3 that he chased this issue as well. He found that it was the control arm bushings. Same thing on another customer's car recently when on the track. Without spacers, it was fine. With spaers, the car would get a steering wheel wobble. He said to test this by getting to the speed with the wobble and then turning to load the suspension a bit. If the wobble gets better as you load the bushing, then it is likely not the spacers, wheels or tires. I will give that a try.
I think I still might get a road force balance done just to cross that item off the list once and for all.
Thanks again for everyone's help and suggestions.
Cheers,
