tire question

I made a post regarding vibration in the steering wheel since I've gotten my aftermarket wheels....it is not a continuous problem but happens every couple of minutes when driving and it's a pretty strong vibration

I thought posting up my specs here might help with some of you who are master at tire/wheel questions

I am running 20" Mezzano MZ5 on Nexxen tires 245/35/r2

i'm not sure about being hub-centric...i don't THINK they are...otherwise, it was aligned and balanced

I know some previous posts say if vibration during braking, then rotors could be warped but this never happens while braking...

Pop one of the wheels off, and see if there is a small plastic ring inside between the hub and the wheel. Usually aftermarket wheels will have these installed by your shop, and they eliminated all vibration on my winter setup.
