Just installed RR 19"wheels and im getting a violent shake

I just installed Range Rover Sport 19" wheels and im getting violent shake past 55 mph. I did everything proper, I got the 06+Range Rover lug nuts and the hub centric rings and the shake is real bad. I also feel like im all over the road with them and ive also noticed that when it upshifts into 4th around 40mph, car will shake a bit, this is all ever since I just installed the new wheels. The tires have about 50% thread on them and two of them have very little uneven threadwear but still, not of my symptoms would be that extreme. Any thoughts. The stock wheels were 16" SE wheels.

if the old set didn't vibrate, wouldn't it make sense that the new vibes are caused by the new wheels?
fixing steering dampers and adjusting boxes only masks an existing problem.

ps...read the sticky on how to balance mk3 wheels. chances are it wasn't done, as it's a different machine and procedure.

It's missing the steering link!!! OMG YOU"RE GOING TO DIE!!!!!!

Just kidding. It's just the spot that the steering linkage would connect if it were Left Hand Drive.

Now go put your 16's back on, or buy some new tires.

When you post stuff, do you think about it first?

Did you happen to read the headline on that youtube clip you posted?

I'm going to quote it, but you have to promise to actually read it this time, as it might clear up your problems for the 8th time.

My 2005 Jeep Wrangler shakes violently and Chrysler will not acknowledge the issue!

It tured out to be the tires. We went from good year to michelin and have been driving with michelin for over a year now and it has not happened since.
The local dealership finally believed me after watching the video and convinced chrysler to give me new tires.
-- If you have good year wrangler tires, this may be the problem. Good Year will not acknowledge a problem. Be persistant with your dealership.

im going to pick up some tires today, michellin synchromes but the size is 255/55/19 vs the 255/50/19, which would help since they will be less low profile and more tire. I would just hate to buy tires and found out I still have the issues. Would the front/car shake that much above 55mpf if the tires were bad? I never had issues like that with bad tires, usually I would get a steering wheel shimmey and steering wheel shake, but this feels like his:
