After lowering my car and putting 18's on it, I now have the 55-65mph shakes. I think its the steering rack.

If your wheels uses sticky weights, there is a high chance they put too much weight on it, which would cause out of balance. It's much harder to use sticky weights than using steel weights.

Try rotating your rotors 180 and see what happens. That may adjust runout.
