So you spent a couple hundred bucks for what a tire shop would have charged you 20? And now the widgets that are supposed to balance tires cause a wheel wobble, and it goes away when you take them off...

"process of elimination" I would start there first. The clips purpose was just to keep the rotors in place during assembly. By leaving them on the wheel spacers are not completely flushed and that could be the culprit. I took mine off when I ran spacers and never had any issues...

If you didn't pull the retainer clips the spacer is not sitting flush on the rotors. Besides vibration it is putting added stress on your studs. You could have a catastrophic failure of your spacers or studs. Take the spacers off ASAP to make sure the retaining clips are removed.
