Wow, thats horrible to hear... something isnt right.... have you tried putting the stock wheels back on just to see if it stops shaking? If it does then I would take them back . I just bought the same exact set with 305/30/26 and it rides great a lot smoother than expected.

Do any of the tires have premature wear due to bad alignment, I know our galant has vibrations at 75 since the tires wore on the inner side in front and outer in rear, after balance rotate and alignment it vibrates a bit.

I had that problem with one shop. 2 balances there & I had a huge wobble.

Took it to a different shop for a 3rd balance & all was fine. I think the first shops machine was out of whack.

It doesn't shake with the stocks on. And the tires are pretty much brand new

I'm with Cameron. I don't think they know what they're doing. Theirs prolly only like 20 sets of 26s in my surrounding county's. So they prolly don't have much expirience

I've had this issue , same rims too. First bought they shook bought used. Had to have rebalanced, they were using small weights which needed many to get the job done, which I ended up having them use large weights not a million little ones. Also after having them for a bit I had to straighten out dents. Did this with a 2x4 n 10lb sledge lol. But my shake is gone now. Btw Ull see dents on the inside lip of the rim the one facing the underside of truck. Notice them easy if you have em.

Make double and triple sure that the brake rotor retaining clips have been removed from the wheel studs. Its just a thin metal clip to hold the brake rotor on. The stock wheels have small indentations around each lug hole to allow room for the clips. When using aftermarket wheels you need to use some needlenose pliers and rip the clips off or you will have major wheel shaking.

Glad to hear you got it fixed!! I had this same problem, still kinda do, but that's front end linkages that's gettin fixed. Anyways, You have to tell the balancing place to FORCE BALANCE your wheels next time. What they do to big rigs. Ensures a correct balance. After my first issue, I always make the shop do it now
