JNMaster 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Hi, I brought 4 new 15" Alloys and tyres the other day and fitted them 2 my corrado, getting rid of the scuffed 17" ones I had on there before. Although there seems to be a problem: As soon as I go 60MPH or faster the whole car starts to vibrate, now this didn't happen on the 17" wheels so have I done something wrong or forgotten to do something? Your help will be truly appreciated :D Thanks, James ----------------------------------------------------- 1991/H VW Corrado 1.8 16v, 116k miles ----------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted February 6, 2003 CHECK YOUR WHEEL NUTS/BOLTS :shock: i had a similar experience after getting a local garage change my cv-boots....they forgot to tighten up the wheel and all the bolts where on finger-tight!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JNMaster 0 Posted February 6, 2003 I made doubly sure that they we're damn tight before I moved the car. I tightened them with a proper power-tool meant for tightening wheel nuts, although I'll have another look in the morning and double check. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 6, 2003 Tracking or wheel balance could be out..? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted February 6, 2003 probably balancing and/or tracking,but maybe even a buckled wheel or a bulge in the tyre Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe M 0 Posted February 7, 2003 Since you say the whole car vibrates I would say a problem with the back wheels, probably balancing. When the front wheels are out its usually just the steering that shakes from side to side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JNMaster 0 Posted February 10, 2003 DOH! It was my fault, I forgot to put the spacers on. The car is fine now, thanks for all your help! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
