steering wheel shake at 60+

hey guys heres my issue: So this summer I put on a set of RPF1's with nitro NT555 tires and I noticed that once I hit 60mph the steering wheel would shake and get worse the faster I went. Taking advice from a friend i switched the front and rear wheels and still had the same issue so thinking it was a balancing problem I took the wheels back to the shop and had them rebalanced and still had the same issue so now I thought it might be an alignment problem. I now have the stock bbs with factory tires back on the car as was going to get an alignment done and the car is fine. From 60-100mph there is no issues. I'm at a loss at what the issues can be any help would be appreciated thanks

Likely due to the front spacers?

You didnt note spacers are being used so please confirm (most RPF1's need them)

Curious what exact size & offset these RPF1's are? +18's?

How about a wheel balance?

How old are the tires?

If you put the wheels on in summer, why post about this in Jan? lol

Are you using the right style lug nut?
