Will be interesting to see what you find. I suspect tolerances may be too wide, and allows for some mounting error. Why tape around the hub spigot, to get a more accurate hub-centric mount, is reducing vibrations.

If to spec', the maximum radial run-out seems so small to cause the amount of vibration experienced. But you can't rule anything out with this problem.
