i meant factory offsets.

Im running 255 front (coming from 225 stock) and 285 rear right now.

The weird thing is the vibration goes away after the tires are warmed up. thats why im suspecting the tires are the issue.

Btw, Discount tire is very professional and has hundreds stores across the states and I never had an issues with them before.

try pressuring up the tires to 37 cold and see if that helps.

sounds like the compound is soft and flat spotting.

Good suggestion, going to try it tonight...
Im only running Evo V12 though, not soft compounds like PSS

heck, they were friendly and really cared about not marking up my wheels so i give discount tires a :tup:

Discount and some employees CAN do a good job. Hell, I try my best to make best balance possible depending on the vehicle. On F-150's and larger trucks under .25 is good for me. Had a Porsche Cayenne S come into today, balanced those under .10 on both sides. Some vehicles don't require as much as they will never notice. When I was at Discount, didn't matter what vehicle as long as it was under .75. I was young and dumb at the time lol.

Back to topic though, If they are fine after warm up, then yeah its the tires. Does it shake at speed or just turning like early in the morning?
