Whats wrong?
The other day i took off my 18 konig verdicts and put on my stock wheels. than as i went to drive, my car was wobbling. i noticed it was the front passenger wheel that was wobbling. the wheel is on tight, all of the other ones are fine so i have no idea what is wrong, any ideas
thanks in addvance

did your hub spacer come off with the konig you pulled off? If not then the wheel may not be seeded right. If it did come off with your aftermarket wheel just take the wheel back off and try remounting.

All stock lugnuts? I actually had spacers on with my Konig Rated-Rs, and forgot to take them off when I put the stock wheels back on for the winter. The wheels seemed fine other than a slight wobble. Then I hit a pot hold and busted two studs. Make sure to check the spacer thing. Other than that....is it balanced right? Maybe a weight fell off while the wheel was in storage or somethin'. Check air pressure?

i had no problem with the spare, i just put my konigs back on and now the steering wheel shakes. its not fun doing allthis in 30 degree weather and snow and ice everywhere
damn, i put my stocks on yesterday and am in love with the ride of the 15's. Sooo smooth. My 17's needed to be balanced anyways so at 80-90 i have alot less vibration!!
sorry about yours though.

Well although it may not be what you want to do let alone spend money on... go to an alignment shop that you can trust and talk to them about it. That'd be my next step if I were you.

after a thorough test drive at low speeds the car seems fine, once i get upto around 50 the steering wheel starts to shake and gets worse as i go faster. i had my friend driving next to me and it was wobbling ever so slightly.
i don't think the tire needs to be balanced cause it was only off for a couple of days. i won't beable to get it to a shop till friday and i have to drive 100 miles each day which sucks and i have to find a shop that will actually work on my car since noone will touch it cause its to low.

well if your wheel is wobbling at higher speeds, i think its cuz its unbalanced. other members on this site posted the same problem and it turned out to be a balance issue.

thats what i am going to get checked out but i doubt that is it. just about every wheel i put on has had this problem. i had my stock wheel balanced and it still had the problem. i hopew its something that simple and nothing is wrong with the front end
