RE: I'm more concerned about vibrations of wire within magnetic fields

A thicker rubber pad would work very well. If your chassis is a steel one, the magnetic field of the transformer will couple with the chassis. The field will decrease by the square of the distance, so simple spacing will lower that coupling quite a bit. Try at least a 1/4 inch thick rubber pad.

PS. Magnetic fields would rather travel trough anything ferrous rather than air, hence the large steel washer may prove helpful in shrinking the magnetic field generated by a toroid. It is helpful to counter the induced electrical field by simply applying copper foil or tape across the washer. Remember the issue you are working with is the induced currents in the magnetic substances...
