i got my new tires and rims installed today, ill post pics alittle later, but i got an 18x9 4.5bs with a 325/60/18 (33x12.8x18) and the truck looks amazing but i went and had the tires mounted to the rims and balanced and i came home and installed the tires myself cause i knew id have rubbing issues to fix and i got them fixed, but when i get on the highway and get to 45mph all the way to about 65-70mph my sterring wheel shakes bad, and around 50-55 its almost run off the road tryin to hold it bad, idk if its just a bad job balancing the wheel or if it something else, im goin tommorow to have it looked at, any suggestion what i could do or what the issue might be? greatly appreciate it thanks

 

Im no expert, but it sounds like you might have some ball joint or tie rod issues. It could be a unbalanced tire or maybe the extra weight of the new combo just made the bad steering components much more noticable. If you jack up the front end and just try and wiggle both tires to make sure their is no play in them.

Good luck

 

ill have them look at that thanks, the truck drove just fine with the stock tires on so idk how this tire and rim combo could make that big of a difference

 

Hopefully it's just a bad balance, but sometimes bigger wider tires will bring out the gremlins that are hidden by stock tires and wheels...

 

yea hoping its a bad balance to, i wouldent think a tire that size whould shake the wheel bad enough its hard to keep control over it,

 

it truned out to be a bad balance problem, they say that the wheel must have spun on the rim or somethin like that and all of the tires had to be rebalanced, and on my driver front tire the weights were on the opposite side then where they need to be but got it all fixed and rides great ill be posting pics soon this week

 

Awesome!! good to hear.. it's always nice when its an easy cheap fix
