Steering Wheel Vibration

[BlakeWhite]

I've recently purchase a set of 19x10's AMR wheels, (all 4) with Micky Thompson's 285/35/19 Performance comp tires. Ever since I put these new wheels and tires on my 2010 Mustang GT I've been getting a vary inconsistent vibration in my steering wheel.

It only occurs at 55mph+ and comes and goes even at a constant speed and consistent road conditions. The Vibration is VERY inconsistent.

The wheels were mounted and balanced by American muscle, I've had it aligned as well as double checked by Tire man for the mount and balancing, had an out of round test done as well, both came back good. I've tried rotating my tires, torqued to spec and played around with the tire pressure.

Nothing has seemed to help, hub centric rings were brought up at Tire Man, but am has told me they're not needed, not to mention I wasn't able to find any that fit.

If anyone has some advise or had a similar problem I'd greatly appreciate any assistance.

Any chance the rotor retention clips are still on the car?

Nope took those off too.

Even cleaned up the face of the hub too. Smoothed out the rust/corrosion from the stock wheels, to make the wheel sit as flush as possible, but still have the vibration.

I had a similar problem with a set of 18" FR500 wheels, only in the rear. 3 sets of tires, a new rear set of the same rims, and about 20 roadforce balances later I finally fucking sold them because It was costing me way too much time and money and the problem was driving me insane.

Here's what you do: Go to a performance shop that really knows their shit and have a hunter gsp9700 roadforce balancer and have them run a "rim runout test". If one of them fails, call american muscle about it and see if they'll replace it. If they don't fail, they can actually test the tire and spin the tire on the rim to compensate for any inconsistencies (tires are not perfect). If its bent The bend may be very minor but can still cause an intermittent issue. For me different tires and different situations exacerbated the issue.

Good luck.

I haven't tried a roadforce yet, I'm in a rural area of Georgia right now for work. Finding a performance shop that is capable of that may be a bit of a challenge. I appreciate the help. Thanks.
