Default 20's on my lexus 94 330 ES

I have put 20's on my 04 with low profiles and have a vibration in the steering between 40mph and 65 mph anyone know if that is normal. The shop that put them on said that it is normal, silly girl here will believe that and trash my car. HELP

They did rebalance the tires. There is no pull to the sides, what would the suspension have to do with it? Have others put 20's on there ride?

DO you have hubcentric rings?

All aftermarket wheels are made with a bigger hub bore, to be more 'universal' for all sorts of cars. MAybe the shop lost them once they took em off?

No vibration is normal on a car, go back and exchange wheels or tires, my buddy has 22's on his jeep and it rides smooth, my mother has 20's on her accord and also runs smooth.
Get your money back dont let them fool you.

the wheels may not be an exact match...i had the same problem with mine (20 inch) the idiots that drilled my wheels were a tad bit off ....when installing my rims i could see that the last stud was not centered on each wheel..i would either exchange your wheels or use adapters..i bought adapters since my idiot was a close friend who got me the wheels for next to nothing..i balanced more than once rotated..n nothing..the adapters made the difference..

i have the same vibration with 20's on my e330.i also had to install spring blocks on the rear to keep my tires from scraping the fender lip.my wheels look great but at the cost of these ride problems.i'm going to look into better suspenion parts on the front to solve vibration problems or maybe i'll try the adapters.thanks and i'll let you know the outcome
