My 2000 xj has a slight problem it has a shake or shimmy around 40mmph but goes away at 50 an it only experiences this problem when either u have aftermarket wheels on it or wheel spacers, with factory wheels it doesn't shake or anything an idk what else to try any suggestions would be greatly appcreated

Get the balance checked on your wheels. Probably wouldn't hurt to check the ball joints and tie rods for play as well.

Does it only shimmy with the wheel spacers installed?? I dont quite understand
