Default Got rid of the wobble!!! :)

I had 22's with 325 55-22 on my ram with wheel spacers and could not get rid of the wobble. I just put on a set of 20's with 325/60-20's. Problem solved!!! The offset was wrong on the 22's so I needed a wheel spacer to clear. I would suggest that everyone stay away from the spacers if at all possible.

I actually bought in june last year a set of 22x10 for my 08 (yes I know its the 3rd gen but..) and I put them on and wanted them to stick out just a lil nothing major... So i bought 1 1/2 spacers and had not an issue till i pulled them off for winter..... now I am planning on putting these new rims on my new truck when it gets here winter should be over and i dont see how there would be a problem compared to my 08.... maybe there was a tire outta balance or a rim slightly off?? or a spacer that was machined slighty outa specs? did you try anything before you bit the bullet and bought new rims.... I have no clue what the new truck will be like for offsets im assuming it will be close... what offset did you get? just curious to know what you tried. Thanks

I can check on the offsets. I put the 22's on before i lifted the truck and it rode fine. The lift would not allow the wheels to fit without the spacers. I think the problem was the combination of the spacers and the size of the tire. It was a very heavy combination. I fabbed a steering stabilizer and got the wheels foad forced balanced. This new set up has absolutely no bounce or wobble. I'm so happy!! The tires and wheels had zero problems, it was just the set up. I can sell the wheels and tires to cover the cost since they are in great shape. I tried to upload a pict of the ram before the lift but it won't allow me. I'll show in a new post.
