New wheels/tires= Vibration/shaking??

[Benny986]

great points on the ball vs cone seat lugs, but that probably isn't it. it will still seat properly, its just not good for the wheels and may be dangerous down the line, but it should still center the wheel.

are you using non hubcentric spacers? that will do it.

also, i bet a weight fell off the wheel. some people put tape over their weights to make sure they stay on. thats a bit extreme. I don't do that. but some do.

just get it balanced again. when you re-install... hand tighten all in a star pattern, then tq it in a star pattern.

its almost certain that its not the alignment.

Thanks for all the advice. I have the same wheels as DJOLMAS..Eurotechs. I suspect if he didnt have a problem, I shouldnt. I will have them rebalance. I dont have spacers, and the tires are going the right way. Again, thanks for the quick response.

I put 19's on my car, and had the same vibration issue. After having it rebalanced on a Hunter road force wheel balancer, it took all the vibration out and it rolls smooth as glass at all speeds. To have the wheels road force balanced should not cost very much. Try that first, and if that's not it, keep problem solving. Road force balance is cheap to do.

DL, just curious, what kind of prices are they charging you in your neck of the woods for the Hunter Road force balancing? Over here, I believe it is around $15 per wheel.
