Swaying at high speeds

Swaying at high speeds
Okay so I had some rims which were 15x7 with a +35 offset with 205/50/15r falken azenis. I didn't like the look of those rims so I bought some new wider rims 15x8 with a +20 offset with 195/45/15r toyo proxy tires. The whole point I'm trying to get to is when o was on a empty freeway I decided to do a little pull so I was going about 105 and my car started swaying like crazy with this new wheel setup, but with my older setup it was solid if never ever swayed. I just wanted to know why it started doing this, someone please tell me why
Thanks

105?
At those speeds, a small bump in the road could cause it. Cheap or worn out suspension components could cause it. A bad alignment could cause it. A slight defect in the tires could cause it. A stiff breeze could cause it. You're on stupid hellaflushstance wheels and the wrong size tires. Drive at normal speeds for public roads.

Yeah you'd feel every imperfection in the road with 45 sidewall.
Probably bought new rims and tires while neglecting suspension components.
Might fluke out and only need hub centric rings, but I doubt it.

Did you get the wheels balanced? Proper air psi all around?
At 105 my car feels pretty sketchy too, but I chalk that up to my ride height.

My car isn't flushed at all I just wanted a wider rims that's all, and has no negative camber nor am I to low to the ground it's a a perfect night, I was just used to my other setup because it never shook at those speeds

Re: Swaying at high speeds
Yeah I got them balanced and tire pressure is fine. If was just weird because I've gone way faster about 120 (stupid of me but what's done is done) with my last setup And I swear it was so solid like the steering wheel wasn't moving at all. But with this new setup I was getting scared cause I've haven't experienced that with my Honda ( I have before but that was with my charger) Btw I have no power steering.

Re: Swaying at high speeds
Time to check your suspension, jack your car up and wiggle the wheel side to side and up and down. Any play is not good, and reflicts failed parts.
So you're pretty much at stock height? With no neg camber? Did you buy the wheels used? If so its likely that you have a bent rim or two. This would cause the shaking/ vibration in the steering wheel at high speeds, or any.
