Check the followingThings I have noticed since installing my 19" staggered 6gr wheels:
Pros:
-Wheel hop seems to be drastically reduced: when turning I used to have a lot of wheel hop and now it seems to be almost completely gone
-They look incredible: I am getting lots of compliments and they fit so perfectly, I really really love the way they look.
-Grip has improved on hard acceleration: the 325 tires in the back provide lots more grip than the old 275 with the same tire
Cons
-Increased vibration at highway speed: has anybody else noticed a good amount more vibration at highway speeds? Doesn't seem to happen under 75-80 mph but when I am cruising down the freeway at those speeds it definitely feels like the car is vibrating. Could possibly be caused by the low profile tires? Not sure...
-bump steer seems to be more of a problem: this might be in my head but I never really had any bump steer even with lowering springs with stock PP wheels but now I feel like I am noticing a little more...
Overall I am extremely happy but the vibration at high speeds is concerning me a little. Has anybody else noticed any of these same cons?
torque the lug nuts once more
ensure tires have no bald spots on them
check tire psi
possibly rebalance them.
I know you picked these up off another member, so I need to ask did you have them rebalanced to ensure their properly in spec? If not I would try the above mentioned then check the balance.
