Wheel Vibration

Well it was kind of a pathetic way the studds were put it, I had to use a bunch of washers and then used one of my lug nuts to zip them on. After the 5 were done I was told to use the tire the rest of the way to tighten them.

I figured a balance would be something that should be done, but one thing is, is that the rears have hardly any tread left on them and while the fronts are better they too do not have that much left. I think it's around 1/4 inch or less. Would it still be worth it to balance them until I get new tires? I probably won't be getting any until my other car is paid off.

My cousin Steve said that it was aligned before he sold it and that it should still be good.

So in all get a free day and take what I have done apart and make sure the studs went in right? Leave me some other things I should maybe check for while I am there It would be awsome of any of you. Thanks.

Thats actually the correct way to do it. Im not sure what your lug nuts look like but did you use the taperd(round) on the washers to zip them on? If so you could have damaged the taper and that could cause the wheel not to seat properly.
