I have a 2006 h3, I recently got 20" kmc rockstars with 33"x8.5 toyo MT's. I now have a "getty up vibration feel at around 55mph-70mph. The tires are balanced. Although the wheel isnt a hubsentric wheel they dont make a spacer to fit in it cause the fit is pretty tight but not quite. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they did to fix it. Also there is no shake or vibration in steering wheel.

I had a similar situation with tires on my Ford Explorer that I just traded in.

The tire would balance but I would start to feel vibration once I got in the 50mph + range. Turns out, it had to be one of the tires having some sort of defect. Once I put on new tires, the vehicle ran as smooth as could be.

So, I would go out on a limb and say something isn't right with one of your tires based on my limited, narrow experience.

you hit the nail on the head. It's due to the wheel not being hub centric. I thought someone found an adapter for it though.

Anyhow, post up some pics ASAP. That setup has got to look great!!!!!
