Need Help Choosing Wheels

[hessian18]

My thought is this.


The rims/tires are being balanced at 30mph, you can spin just rims on the tire machine and they arent visably bent, they may have a tiny bit of movement.


All 4 rims/tires will balance out on their machines.


The truck drives perfect under 45mph. Once you get into the 50-55 range the faint wobble comes in.


Its very slight but noticable.


And when I started to look for wheels to powdercoat I had to be picky because I didnt want to waste even more money.


I think since the wheels arent balanced at the rate of speed the wobble is created, your not going to get rid of it.


Its just bent rims LOL

lift the front end up on jake stands and hold the front wheel and try to move it right or left.and then try grab it from the top to bottom and see if it moves that way

***Edit, the whole front end of the truck is new....


I already checked that.

Well the truck will be getting a 12bolt someday.


So if it is the rear axle ( which I doubt ) It will get replaced.



Everything else has been.

Yea I should have thought about it better last year before impulse buying the tires...



Lesson learned though.


Anyone have any input on tires ?

4 spare tires

I think if your set on 17's then go forward. Get what you want and sell the 15's. There is still a market for them, just not like it once was.

I blew a tire on a rental trailer that had 15's on it. Went to my local tire and wheel store. He had to scrounge around to find a 15 for me.
