Wheel Spacers
Slip on spacers are ok, But with a 8mm spacer you may find your studs aren't long enough.

Front Control Arm Bush/s
If you after a comfort option go Superpro, but if you have brembos or race the car get the Whiteline bushes. I've gone through 3 set of Superpro bushes racing.

Front End Help
Another possibility for the scratched rim, There could be excessive free play in the wheel bearing.

Front End Help
Excessive toe in or negative camber will cause inner tyre wear. Maybe also check you lower front control arm bushes, see if they're split. In regards to the marks on the inside of the wheels, turn your steering to full lock and see if the rims are touching the swaybar

Best picture I've got of my exhaust tip, 3.5" single with no rear muffler. Only problem it keeps melting the bumper.

Steering Feel And Rack Travel.
I can't remember off the top of my head, but it's always best to start small and work your way up. My suggestion would be to pull the spring out and put one washer under it, reassemble and test. One thing you must watch when shimming it is you don't cause the spring to coil bind before the valve can fully open. If that happens the pump can over pressurize at higher rpm.

18" X 9.5" +30 Front Of Fg ?
On my BF 18x9.5 +30 cleared everything but on a FG I'm not sure because the upright is different. Also If you concerned about brake clearance send them an email with the brake template attached and see if they can check the fitment. I run a 5mm wheel spacer on the front when I race never had any problem going through corners @160kmh, Also don't use alloy wheel nuts.

Check your intake manifold gasket, I could be split. Usually they go on one of the first three runners.

Bad Vibration In High Speed Turns
The more g-force on the car during high speed corners could compress the bushes in the rear control arms causing the CV to move in an potentially maxing out their travel. If It Is the CV the amount of throttle applied would have little to no affect on the vibration, It would all be related to cornering speed and grip. Just on a side note if the cars too low your roll center goes through the floor and your handling will get worse and you may end up with heat issues.

Bad Vibration In High Speed Turns
Yeah that's a bad vibration alright. How low is the rear of the car? maybe your maxing out the CV's travel.

Bad Vibration In High Speed Turns
Whens you next track day? Maybe see if you can do a run in the track with your road tyres and if it still vibrates than it's not the tyres. I doubt it would be to do with wheel bearing or the hub. Also do you have any in car footage of the car when you get the vibration?
