20 inch rims and it wobbles.......

Hi guys, I just got lexani dynasty 20 inch rims on my 2004 G35x and when im on the highway going about 70 mph (120 km/h) the whole car wobbles and vibrates in the seats and a little bit in the steering wheel. Now it only happens when im coasting at that speed so if im accelerating its fine and with cruise on its minimal but when my foot is completely off the gas its the worse. I got the tires balanced and the vehicule aligned. The shop fixed the toe to within specs but the camber is still off on all wheels and the caster on the front. My mechanic took the car for a test drive and he told me that he thought it was shaking because of the bigger wheels and suggested getting front and rear swaybars. Id like to know if anyone else has had this problem and did they fix it???? thanks

it seems like either your tires are f-ed up or they arent balanced correctly

too lazy to explain, so I copied and pasted from 1010tires...

Hub centric rings are manufactured so that when they are installed on a vehicle, the wheels are located directly off of the centre flange of the brake drum or rotor. This is done to insure that the outer beads of the wheel are concentric with the wheel bearings. The result is a much truer, better balanced tire/wheel assembly. This is very important with modern high tech suspension systems.

Possibilities:

1.)Hub Rings
2.)One or more of your wheels/tires out of round

Try to find a dealer who got the Hunter Road Force balancing machine in your area. They can figure it out.
