Default vibration with new tires and rims

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.

Default Re: vibration with new tires and rims

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.

Default Re: vibration with new tires and rims

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!!!!!
