Hubcentric rings are a must. If that does not fix it, then most likely your wheels are out of balance.

Out of curiosity, why those wheels?

according to bridestone, a 225/40/18 should go on a rim 7.5-9" rim. Are you sure it fits OK on a 7"?

225 on a 7" wheel should be ok. just a fat tire setup.

Why do you want to put on these wheels from your old car? I would personally sell it and rock the stock wheels. No need to put money into your old wheels. Sell it!
