Hey guys i recently took my 17's off and went back to stockies. With the stockies on my left back wheel shakes when i drive so i swapped it with another wheel thinking the other might have been warped...but the one i replaced it with wobbles too. And yes all the nuts are tightly dont up, whats going on?

Only started happening when i put stocks on :S:confused:

OR a long shot is both the stockies you tried are warped (they are pressed metal and can warp alittle easily)
When putting the lug nuts on , did you tighten in a CROSS/CROSS fashion ? The wheel maybe sitting alittle off centre.
You need to tighten 1 side , then the opposite , then next to , then the opposite like this

or bearing bad or loose suspension component's.

IE upper control arm , TOE compensator arm or rear lower control arms - you need to get it checked out asap

get a wheel alignment/balance mate, prob out a bit or you may have lost some counter weights, also torque up all your wheels to 80ft.lb give that a go

check if there is a hub ring on your hub as usually with bigger aftermarket wheels they fit these but when you fit the stokies on you have to remove them as the stockies dont need these as the centre is smaller
