Default help,my is 250 awd is jumping with my 19 rims

ok here is my car

is 250 2008 awd

drop on h&r spring for awd

rims

19x8.5 offset+35 on the front
19x9.5 offset+38 on the back

tires

Nankang

225/35/19 on the front
255/30/19 on the back

i have three problem

first problem is when i start to accelerate until 50 mph the car is shaking a liitle bit from left to right. like its dancing.

second problem, there is a small vibration when im at 65 mph on the cruise control.

third problem, i have a gap between the fender and the tire on the back of the car. could i put bigger tire on the back to hide the gap. 255/35/19 maybe??? i cannot go lower my front lip is already very low. im already having problem to pass everywhere.

The rims and tires are perfectly balanced and the alignement is good. it was done this morning. Ive drop the car one week before i install the rims and it was rolling perfectly. so the problem isnt the spring or installation.

someone already had those problems? especially the first one, i dont want to damage the awd system. (wrong spacers with the rims? tire default?, rims dont fit on a awd?.........)

thanks

does your rims need hub centric rings? sounds like that COULD be the problem.

Are your rims second hand? Are you aware if there is any dents on your wheels? Because that could cause the vibration. Also, agreed regarding the hub centric.

Was your car lowered before or after you put the rims on? Did you just installed the rims or did this just happen?

It is possible that centric will absolutely work, did the place you took it to mention anything about camber or toe. It is possible that you need a camber kit so everything sits straight.

Sound like it needs the hub ring not camber kit. Camber kit for aggressive wheels. Bore hub on Lexus is 60.1 any over that needs hub ring to sit on the hub wheel. So that it doesn't wobble.If the rims are hub centric to fit Lexus 60.1 then there no need for hub rings.

camber and toe are a completely different thing, if you would like to learn more use the 'search' there are many good posts here about that subject written by knowledgeable ppl

You don't need camber kit its for alignment Purpose only and those who want to run a negative camber. Won't help the wobble. So there sending you the rings?
