Is it there all the time, or just at certain speeds?

I take it you've had the wheels balanced. When that's out, I got a vibration at that sort of speed, although it did recede at higher speeds still. Sometimes the weights that fiters use when replacing tyres can become dislodged, so this would be the first (and cheapest) thing to try if you haven't already.

It will most likely be the spacers. Often folk buy the wrong ones. Also ensure you got the correct shaped bolts for the wheels.

If it’s still there after removing the spacers, I’d be looking at the propshaft.

Is the vibration felt just through the steering wheel, or can it be also felt through the drivers seat? Do the headrests vibrate (look through the rear view mirror)? This could help pinpoint whether the problem is at the front or rear.
With spacers, the machining of them is critical. I personally would start with those, as they would for me be the most likely culprit.
