Did you have problems with shaking after you rebuilt the front end, but before putting on the new rims and tires?

no just when i put the new tires on

Checked for an out-of-round tire, bent rim, missing hubcentric rings, or improper balance? Balancing them twice doesn't necessarily mean they were balanced properly.

the tire itself may be at fault. i have seen bad radial belts cause the same symptoms when using brand new tires.

agree with dave on the other points mentioned

Dead simple, I think in the colonies you call them hub-centric rings. The new wheel hub I.D. is slightly bigger than the hub itself,and the wheel bolts flex enough to allow the wheel to wobble,bet they are`nt E34 rims.In U.K. we get a machinist to run them up but you may be able to buy them.

I think they should be called "wheel donuts." Everything shaped vaguely like a donut should be called a donut. From now on, o-rings, spigot rings / hubcentric rings, piston rings and c-clips shall all be known as donuts. The only toroid not to be called a "donut" will be donuts themselves, which shall be henceforth known as cake rings. I don't care what confusion it causes.

Oh yeah. Tires/tyres are donuts, too.

ok well my rims are brand new but i had these tires sitting around for a while but they look in good shape!

[nesone0072525]

do you think i have to change front and back or could i get away with just the fronts (they all have plenty of tread and they look brand new)

[DaveVoorhis]

Brand new rims doesn't necessarily mean they aren't bent, and tires that look in good shape can be rubbish. Look for the cause of the problem, rather than randomly changing front to back or whatever. For example, are you using aftermarket wheels that require hubcentric rings? If so, are they installed? Etc.
