Someone quickly help me out..

Hreed · 01-06-2012, 01:30 PM

I just put on 313 reps, 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear both with ET35. I have a 2008 328xi with no sport package, wheel and tire fitment was perfect and I made sure everything checked out. However... I am getting a slight to moderate vibration in my steering wheel above speeds of 55-58 mph. What could this be? Do I need to have the shop that put them on Adjust something on the fitment? Help me out! Thanks!

I would post a picture but I\'m on my phone sorry guys!

Are the wheels balanced?

mr_biased · 01-07-2012, 11:04 AM

It could be the wheel needs a hubring - some wheels are made for 74mm hub bore. If the vibration is really small, it's most likely a balance issue.

Balancing issue. What tire size are you running currently?

Brian@bavarianx · 01-07-2012, 01:03 PM

What is the brand of the wheel? It sounds like a balance issue. I don't think it'll need a hub ring since most BMW replica wheels nowadays are hubcentric.

Michelin Pilot sport all season performance (can't exactly remember the name), and I'm pretty sure it's 225/40/18 front, and 255/35/18 rear.

Get your wheels road force balanced.

It could be a couple different things but the first place I would start looking would be the balance. Road Force Balancing the tires should help if they're not already.
