Exclamation EXTREME VIBRATION!!!

So I finally got my new shoes and they look sweet!!!

Only problem is that there is A HUGE AMOUNT OF VIBRATION, at 40mph is barely noticeable but once I reach over 60+mph it feels like the front end of the car is about to fall apart.....I have already checked the car's alignment and made sure that the tires are properly balanced and run true....could there be another factor that I am not taking into consideration towards this??? Thanks for any input!!!

BTW I got the traditional upgrade from 18's to 19's (32/35 et) no spacers, 235/35/19 and 255/35/19 set up with NITTO INVOs I dont know if this could be another factor????....

Are the new wheels hub-centric? Maybe they need centering rings.

it looks like the hub rings may be the issue....they are hub centric but I remember that the hub space in the wheel was bigger than the hub so I think I am going to try that and if it continues then I will post back.....thanks for your time guys!!
