Rims r to BIG

[gregisgod]

i decided not to spray paint them. instead i purchased Giovanna DALAR wheels. they only came in 20" so i bought them. but now whenever i start to accelerate my car starts to shake. does anybody know what to do???

[NOVAS4]

get an alignment and wheels balanced?

[MOFSTEEL]

Well god you should have done your research before you bought but you might need hub centric rings.

[HOFFY11]

balance them? thats all i could think of not much of a car expert..thats the obvious thing that could be wrong

[gregisgod]

ive already laser balanced them... any other suggestions

[covertS4driver]

To install new wheels/tires without balancing them is crazy!

But if you didn't, do it asap!!

(edit) sorry, we must have been posting at the same time

rims could be off center on the hub..dad is a audi tech also said check to see if the hub center disc fits proporly into the rim..my dads 2 cents right there.. he is a audi and vw master tech so id take that info

[iconoclast]

is this guy for real?

[gregisgod]

thats been done please ask him if Audis should be ok with 20" wheels

[RedDevil]

My 20's ride like a dream. The 20's aren't the issue

[HOFFY11]

did you torque the feels on he said?? as long as the outside diameter of the wheel is right for the rims they should be fine..he also said..its either they are off balance or its the centering ring ..other than the newly stated issues...all said by him

Doest matter, it could be a Honda.
Seems to me like you would need hub centric rings.
I cant believe you dumped money on a pricey set of wheels without researching first.

yea it doesnt matter the car..and the only possible problems are the ones i said and the centric rings idk about....good luck

Balanced? check
do you have the proper wheel bolts?
are the wheel bolts torqued to the correct specification? ~90 ft-lbs if i remember correctly...

If none of this works, then you probably need hub centric rings as stated by MOFSTEEL.

did somebody call for me?

[s4dude]

did you put these on yourself?did you touque them in a star pattern?

I would have to agree with center rings. Even if they are off by a mill or 2 it would make a diff. also make sure the back of the wheel is sitting flush against the hub. Or if its a tire issure reseat all tires and start over.

you could have a bent or warped rim which will balance out but still cause a nasty vibration. rare...but it can happen. You probably have a bad tire. Inside the tire are steel belts, which could have a belt shift. If so the tire is no good and it will cause a very harsh vibration. some you can feel at 10mph and some dont cause anything until 30ish. both problems can only be see by spinning the wheel/tire on the car on a lift or on a balancer. Take it to a wheel/tire shop that knows what there talking about and see what they say.

and lastly.....get them road force balanced. its a longer balancing process that even if nothing is wrong with the tire/rim what they can do is re-mount the tire on the rim in a better position to help eliminate and vibrations/pulling

same problem I had when I purchased H&R spacers and they shipped me the wrong spacer, it shakes @ 55-60 mph. AWE was cool with it and replaced them right away. 20" is a bit too big for my taste, good luck.
