Vibrations on the steering wheel

NRGz · 04-15-2017, 06:49 AM

Just curious if this is a norm for those who run different offsets over stock.

I recently just replaced my stocks and all seasons for a new set of wheels 18x9.5 and 10.5 +15 wrapped in sportcomp2.
I feel like it is because of the more aggressive front, please shine in.

I had been fiddling with my steering wheel and had brought it about an inch lower than max height and now the vibrations are coming up.
Every lug was torqued to 85lbs and has been torqued again 2 times after 150 miles to take the extra measure. Everything clicked just fine.

vibration on steering wheel is usually from unbalanced wheel/tire mounting or ur wheel is not centered on the hub.. or ur tires are not true, or ur wheel is not straight.

go back to the tire shop to have the set rebalanced.

if ur wheels did not come with centering rings see if u can get a set. centering rings can help at times, but not required for lugcentric wheels. (lug centric meaning you got tapered lugs, not the washer type lugs as oem).
