Anyone experience a problem with balancing? I put 17" with yokohama 225\45\17 tires on my xB and I cant seem to find a place that can balance these things right. They use stick on weights obviously but I still get the slightest vibration at higher speeds. I know it is not the car as it was fine before the new set.

tires are fine and wheels are fine by themselves. narrows down to balancing. Maybe the goodyear I went to has retarded people.

any suggestions? Are stick on weights harder to balance with?

thanks

you need hub centric rings. go back to the place where you bought them to get these they go on the back of the wheel or go to any discout tire location they will be able to help you out

thanks for the reply. Are these the rubber rings? There were some rubber rings that came with the wheels when I ordered them. I will double check though.

Thanks
