make sure the tires were put on the right way
did you tighten them like your supposed to on a diagnal like one nut then the diagnal one?....that will sometimes throw the wheel off balance....make sure take it off and try

Try an aligment afterwards, that solved the shaking for me.

well i found out that the front tires were put on the wrong way so that helped. and i found out that you dont need the hub centric ring. and that has helped alot. so now i think i will be doing the allignment this week i hope.
thank you guys for helping me.
