New wheels and Duratracs!

Procomp 7005 17x8 with 265/70/17 duratracs

 

perhaps your new wheels weren't balanced properly

 

perhaps...

 

perhaps likely

 

Mine does with same with brand new nitto terre grappler 265/65R17 wrapped around Konig Countersteer Type X. I'm wondering what the cause is too.

 

go back to the guy who balanced them and give him a second try

 

My duratracs shake just a tad on the highway every now and then, I'm sure its due to being slightly unbalanced but its not enough to bother me.

Looks good!

 

guys I work at goodyear and balanced myself. All ended up at .00 - .00
But they needed a lot of weight. I heard something about procomp wheels not being hubcentric, which could cause this problem. Anyone else hear anything like this?

 

get out the digital caliper and measure, 106 or 108 on the hub? that answers that question.

 

Could be the lug nuts....

 

X2 I've seen it on here. Weird af how that works.

 

Had the same problem when i got new wheels, used the Gorilla ET lug nuts and nothing happen now, i think they only come in chrome though.

 

are your wheels hubcentric or no?

 

No they're not hubcentric according to their site, I installed the wheels with the stock rugged trails before the duratracs, so its not the tires that's giving the problem, so its not your wheels and tires, it most likely are the lugs, the ones I have are longer thread so the seat the wheels better, then rebalance then you should be OK.

 

yeah I thought I got the right lug nuts though. I heard of some hubcentric rings that are for lugcentric wheels. I might give that a try. What an experiment... Maybe ill try the lugs first!

 

As I was reading the first couple of posts, that's the same thing I was thinking... lug centric rims on a vehicle wanting hub centric, maybe with the wrong kind of lugs. This can cause major shaking.

Also be aware that the balancing machine has to be adapted to the rims, whether lug centric or hub centric. Having the machine rigged for hub centric with a lug centric rim will have bad results.


The final possibility for shaking wheels is defective tire(s), however this is a lot less likely than above.

 

Yeah that's what I've been thinking. I rebalanced today and found that it helped a lot. I tried to tighten the lugs more evenly. Now I have minimal shaking. Going to get the hub centric rings. Thanks for the help

 

So does this mean you could work out a deal on some tires for me?

 

If you live in WA!

 

You have to have hubcentric wheels or spacers to make your wheels hubcentric. My buddy put wheels on his truck had the same issue shake above 50-60 he got the rings and the shake is gone. I just put 275/70/17 BFG AT's on my truck with new wheels that were hubcentric and I have no shake. Just my .02.
