Default strange vibration

my driver side CV has been blown for 2 years. put 17'' low pros on my car for the first time and the CV finally gave out. changed the CV but im still getting a strange vibration comming from the front of the car that gets worse as i drive faster. all CV boots are in perfect shape, brakes are in good shape, etc. tires have been rotated and re-balanced. so what could be the problem? imbalanced intermediate shaft? blown hub? help!!

We need a little more info
Like if there's any associated noise with this vibration?
Does it get louder if you turn? Which direction?
Do you feel it more in the floor, or in the steering wheel?

there is a slight knocking sound that can be heard but nothing that cant be fixed by turning my music up. the sounds and vibrations will come and go...sometimes noticeable when i turn either direction...sometimes not. i can feel it in the floor but not really through the steering wheel. when i crank the wheel at a slow rate of speed i dont notice anything out of the ordinary so im thinking is not a CV?

The car needs to be road tested.
