They recommended that I put some stock rims on my car and then it should ride alot better. Anyone wanna hook me up with some cheap stock rims with tires?

And God knows dealerships don't lie.........

yeah, that sounds like a load. the rims shouldn't make a difference unless they're warped.

try taking off the little clips that the factory uses to hold to rotor in place. those are like having a small washer in between the rim and hub. I had a similar problem when I went with after market wheels and tires that were bigger than stock. removing them made a difference for me. It sounds silly but it is worth a try.

I looked for those when I got the new tires, but there were no washers on my car. I guess someone already beat me to it.

I think i read on here once that if the drive shaft is put on in correctly that the car may vibrate. And she is stock. And it doesn't have indepent, now that I think about it the guy that i was talking to was tard.
