Tire balancing problem

[MURKY]

ok just did some more research and I think I understand that 5th gens are hub centric and not lug centric. I will be taking my wheels off when I get to the house and doing some measuring and whatnot.

...and we all thought you had stock wheels on it...

Hopefully you get it all sorted out.

If the wheels are not installed properly they will vibrate even if the tires are balanced. Also unlikely since any shop should be competent at installing wheels.

Yep - The Tire Shop should have used the proper lug nuts and/or hub shims if deviating from stock wheels and their hub-centric mounting provisions. Lord knows this can be easy for a high-school punk tire tech making $10/hr to omit or flat out ignore

On another related topic: I had lug-centric wheel spacers for a week - horrible! Swapped to the proper Hub Centric SpiderTrax spacers - Smooth! Wheel Spacers with stock wheels can obviously have similar hub centering issues as aftermarket wheels can...
