By wheel spacers I assume you mean a hub that bolts onto the existing studs and then the wheel goes on?

These aren't road legal in Australia, not sure about Greece. What they are doing is moving the centre line of the wheel further out, creating a larger bending moment and putting a lot more weight on the outer bearing. 3cm may not seem much, but they will lead to eventual bearing failure (or worse).

Anyway, as to the vibration, it may be that one (or more) isn't sitting quite flat when they were bolted on. It wouldn't require much at the hub, but by the time the misalignment gets to the edge of the wheel, the vibration can be significant.

since I put 265/75/16 and 2' OME suspension I noticed that the car has some problems on side balance. with the wheel spacers the wheels have bigger distance between them wich is great. I was looking for new wheels with negative offset but I couldnt find any.
