    Unless you're running flat faced lugnuts hub rings won't do a single thing but remove money from your pocket.

    check for any bulges on all your tires and if none have your wheels balanced

    Thanks for all your help.

    I rebalanced the wheel twice! I checked for flat spots on the front tires and the truck is still shacking. Can't go over 60. And what do you mean a flat face lug nut?

    Any new ideas?

    Thanks

    And does anyone know how to post a pic so I can show the truck?

    Did the shaking start when you put these rims on? Have you tried rotating the tires and seeing if the vibration changes?

    Yes I had a set of stock wheels off a jeep and as soon as I put the mercury grand mer. Wheels it started to shack. I had this problem with the oem wheels but it was cuz of a flat spot.

    The jeep wheels have a larger pilot than the factory Toyota wheels and you didn't have an issue. You swapped the mercury wheels on and now it shakes and you blame the lack of hub centering ring.

    The problem is with the wheels or the tires it doesn't have a single thing to do with the hub centering unless the mercury wheels have too small of a size so the wheel wobbles.

    Actually the jeep wheels fit right on the hub size is alot smaller then the mercury wheels there of an old jeep they have that mesh look. As soon as all this rain stops ill go over everything again.

    Thanks for the advice and trying to help bro
