Icon6 17' rims on Honda civic 2004 Vibrating

Ok got 17' rims with for Honda Civic 2004 4dr
Brand: Nexen Tires
Model: N5000
Tire Size: 205/40/17

The only problem is that I installed the right rim on the left side and left on the right side but only for the front wheels, back wheels were installed properly...I later changed them and put the right rim on the right axle and vice versa, I do see that the wheels are vibrating after 100 kms on hwy Now, any suggestions

Do you think if the balancing is out?

It's possible that the wheels need to be re-balanced.

you need hub centric rings for a proper fit thats another 50 bucks . you should have got smaller rims they look and perform better not to mention cheaper .

Did you at all lower the car? Because if you did your going to need a camber kit!

I am having the same problem! I have 17 ADR wheels with the same exact tires. I've noticed that the wheel weights which stick to the inside of the wheel have flown off. Check that out first!

Don't take any risks my friend.Just get your wheels checked from the mechanic & try to balance it as soon as possible.
