Ya know.....there comes a time when you start throwing good money after a bad problem searching for a solution by eliminating possibilities by replacing new parts. That is not the way to resolve an issue with auto mechanics. If you are not a mechanic, trained in diagnosing these sort of problems, take it to Ford. None of us can come through the monitor and diagnose your problem.

FIXED!
I took it to Ford as suggested. They were not overpriced as i thought they would be. Nice guys in Concord, CA.
The rims i had (Cragar SS) were the wrong rim for that car. Cragar rims sit on the lugs where my new American Racing Torq Thrust II sit on the hubs like they are suppose to. Ride is as smooth as butta!!
Thanks everyone.

Ya the 610's are nice, I think they would be even better if they had a little bit deeper dish tho

im with you and mojoe, those 610's are a nice rim. if they had a satin or maybe a kinda of gun metal look to them i would definitely get them.

i bet eventually they will have more options. if i ever get another set of rims, those are them....i just needed to buy something i liked since it was either get new tires for the new rims or for the old effed up stock rims....and the tires were free cuz my grandpa was gona buy em for me so i had to giddy-up and didnt have enough for the cragars. bullits were next best affordable thing.
