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.

Assuming all the correct parts were used, it is obviously something to do with the tires or wheels.
I would pull them off and take them to a GOOD tire shop that can balance them and check them for being out of round etc.

I didn't buy the rims to take them off

So I guess you bought the rims to have (in your exact words) "Violent shake above 55mph".
I didn't think it was that difficult myself. You start with a good driving rig, you change wheels, and then it tries to kill you.
Hmmmm, lemme see here......Could it be the wheels/tires?
As I said in my first reply, take the wheels off, refit your old wheels and test drive to be sure it is the rims. If it drives good again, take the new 19's to a GOOD tire shop to have them checked out.
Trying to blame other parts for something you just swapped out is not uncommon. But I see it more in the Jeep world than here thank God. :lol:

Let us know when you take the wheels off and actually have them checked out. Hopefully it is a balance issue, and not an out of round tire etc...

Bud, this is my "other" rig....

Note my tires.
I get no vibrations at all, at any speed. I would know real quick as the wife drives it on a daily basis around town etc. I get tire humming and thats it. No shakes at all up to the 80mph the missus drives it at... :shhh:
Hell she drives it more than the RR most of the time, unless the weather is really bad. :think:
I still say to remove the 19's, put the old 16's back on for a day or so, then get the 19's balanced and checked out. While you are typing in here, you could have swapped the rims and had them loaded up already! :lol:
So far as anything else wrong with your rig, only you can see it all, not us unfortunately.

GOOD NEWS: Just bought Michellin synchromes 255/55/19 and my shake went away :dance: , drives much much better and no more death wobble, i get like a slight hint of a small shake still but very small between 55-57 mph but then goes away as soon as I get to 60mph plus but overall very happy with the outcome, thanks

Wow, you mean it was the tires?
