I just put my new wheels/tires on and didnt notice any difference at all the first few days, then out of nowhere the car starts to kind of make this very subtle bumpy/rolly sort of guttural feeling. If nobody said anything you might not notice it, but for some reason it makes me nauseous while driving the car.

I took the car back to Discount Tire to have them double check that the tires are all properly high speed balanced, they were, but the problem persists.

The only thing I can think of is that I havent had the car aligned yet, because im waiting for my Springs to be installed, which is happening today.

Once the Tein S-Tech's are on, i'll get the car aligned, and hopefully this issue will magically dissapear. Does anybody have any insight into what it could be? Or has anybody experienced something similar?

 

What wheels?

Do you have hub rings on them?

 

I do,

The wheels are Stern ST-8's which have a 73mm hub bore, I got 70.1>73mm hub rings for the front and 64.1>73mm hub rings for the rear.

Discount Tire put them on and didnt seem to have any concern that they were not installed properly. Would it be blatantly obvious if they were not perfectly centered?

 

Sometimes it may not even be noticeable. I depends on how they put the wheels on and how true they are. You normally end up with a vibration though. It should have been noticed right off the bat though.

 

Thats whats weird... Its not a vibration.

I'm having UMS Tuning install my Tein S-Tech's today, which means the wheels will have to come off. I'll ask them to take a quick looksee and see if anything looks suspicious that could cause this bumpy/rolling feeling.

Could the car being out of alignment cause that kind of sensation?

 

out of round tire maybe, i've had something like this happen twice to me, both times it was a tire that was not right...
the shop was able to balance it, but on the car it vibrated.

 

think i got the same problem my shit feels like i'm riding on gravel half the time.

 

You shoud check yourself to be sure they didn't mount the front wheels in back and vice versa. If this happened, the 64mm center hole of the rear wheels won't fit in the 70mm pilot diameter up front, and the wheel/hub faces that are supposed to be clamped together won't be.

Very dangerous if this is the case!
