Hey guys,

I just had the local shop swap out my advans/ps2's for the stockers/blizzaks..

On the way home I experienced a violent vibration. The place was closing so I just rode it home (2min, literally) and checked the wheels in my own garage. Everything looked fine...

My guess is that the lugs are the problem. I used a set of gorilla lugs that threaded just fine, but were not the ones I used last season...any thoughts??

 

i,m sure the shop would have noticed if the lugs wern,t seated properly. take it back and let him check it again, its as simple as that.

 

What did you check? Did you check torque on the lug nuts? Could have one hand tightened or slightly more which is enough to cause bad vibration.

 

Hub rings from the Advans weren't removed?

 

since you have the stockers on you should use stock lug nuts.

 

 

the wheels might not be centered

 

i found the stock lug nuts last night.

i'm bringing the car back in about 30 minutes to see if that resolves it.

 

 

i had that once with my IS300 before. the shop probally forgot to balance one of the wheel.

 

it was the lugs..

swapped them out in favor of the oem acorn-type lugs and the car is back to normal without so much as a hint of vibration.
