Any progress on Steering Wheel Vibration???

I had a slight vibration around 60 miles but it was tolerable so i did not want to dig out more i also had it when i pushed the brakes hard.But this weekend my 22' Motto's came with BF Goodrich 325/55-22 shoes.They really look awesome and huge.After the installation i went out to highway to test and my steering wheel started to shake so terribly i was even scared.It was there not only around 60 miles but around 40-50-60-70 -80.... and now i am kind of in panic it is more beyond tolerable even it scary .I live in Turkey and imported my truck from Canada and there are no official dealers here.Are there any updates on this issue ???Any help will be higly welcomed.
FOMOCOME THANKS TO YOU by the way the idea that you gave me worked great now i installed 3' body lift kit over daystar and newly ordered 325/55-22 with 22'Motto combo fitted just right.It had an overall diameter of 36.3 inches just fitted well only problemm is when i turn the wheels full left or right the inside corner of tires touches the the metal arm behind the wheel (i do not know its name in english??)slightly although it seems a problem i can take care of that that is easy to fix.Is there any modified metal arms??
I was about to order my Brake kits and was waiting for Whipple's supercharger to make the call this Vibration really annoyed me now i am thinking of canceling all my further modifications until i found a solution to this issue.

Sounds like your steering wheel vibration issue might be directly connected to your tires. If the vibration got worse with new tires, have them checked for proper balance and road force. Larger tires can exaggerate balance and road force problem and cause nibble.

I have smaller virbation problem with my 35 " Procomps, I have to rotate them frequently until the viration returns. I am told the aggressive tread is notorios for this.

Thanks for the replies )though i still think it is a deeper problem i hope you guys are right and it really is a balance problem.Mine is the only ford 2004 f-150 in Turkey lots of Dodge's and Chevy's around but none has this kind of tire and rim combo so i think i will have a hard time finding a shop to balance my tires rightfully(.I would lýve to post my new tires they really look awesome but i do not how to put it in athread so i will put them in my gallery.
