hi everyone hope you are all ok...just fitted my 18 inch inovite wheels went on no problem with spigot rings and specials bolts to convert 4 x 100 to 4 x 98 anyway they dont catch and look amazing HOWEVER when i drive my steering wheel shakes violantly whatcould this be? does the car need re tracking or balancing again? all the wheels were supposed to be balanced anyway and the car was tracked about a month ago but on the standard wheels please help everyone really worried it is soemthing else!!!!

How do you get 4x100 wheels to fit 4x98? A spacer bolted on first and then new bolts into the spacer? Special bolts sounds very dangerous to mee. Might be this is the place there is something uneven.

Wobbly bolts? There you have it. ;D

hi guys you can get special bolts that convert 4 x 100 to 4 x 98 anyway there are no spacers just bolts but the back wheels seam to be fine i know people in the past have had these bolts fitted with no problems can fitting wheels do this straight away to tracking etc etc cheers guys many thanks

Are the wheels new or second hand? tyres new or second hand???? i have wobbly bolts on mine and then are fine no problems at all,

if the vibration is really bad then i cant see it being the balancing/tracking,

if the wheels are second hand then maybe the wheels are buckled or tyres work to extreme as this will also make it vibrate badly!

check these first mate,

if its not that and not the tracking/balancing then i dont have a clue.

Did you tighten the bolts up correctly..? i.e doing one bolt up then doing the adjacent bolt to that one. not just going round doing each in a row. ???

Wrong tracking will most likely track the car in one direction, or wear tires unevenly, and off balancing usually occurs at ceratin speed intervals, example 90-100 km/h or similiar. If it is constant I guess one of your tires/wheels are mounted incorrectly. Steering wheel shake rules out the rear, so try to change the front tires with the rear, and check of the shaking moves from the front to the rear axle. Shitty job, but somebody's got to do it.

hi guys the bolts are tightened up pretty well could they be on too tight? the wheels are brand new and brand new tyres i had the recall done by fiat on the suspension a couple of weeks ago could it be this? cheers guys any help would be appreciated its not mega mega bad and sometimes does not do it but the stearing feels very very light

i did also have a bit of a bugger getting the alloys to lighn up with those two things coming out of the hub but as i said they did go on and do not catch its such an ass cos it has taken shine of my car today with the work i have had done ...
