Okay I used to have 14" LX Hubcaps, and then when I changed to 15" EX Rims, my steering wheel shakes heavily. One of my friend said one of the tire needed to be balanced. Im a complete noob, please help!

 

okay, swapping 14's to 15 wont do that.
checklist
1)lugs, all tighted to torque spec?
2)tires, damage? cupped?
3)what size of tires you running?
4)bented rims?

 

I checked the lugs, all tighted
Tires seemed fine no damage
They are four different kinds of tires, if that makes a difference, all same size..

Rims arent bent..

Should I get it checked up on?

Any help would be appreciated!

 

go get ur wheels balanced

 

Ill blame the tires. Different thread of wheels makes a lil difference. just my imho

 

What does wheel balancing do? And how do you know if you need to get it balanced? Wow I love these boards replies are so quick!

 

get em balanced that will most likely fix it unless you have other mechanical problems

 

it could also be the brake rotors. i had that happen to my ex with 15s

 

just go get them balanced. Same thing happened to me a month ago. $25 later it was smooth as butta.

 

he can go balance all he wants but its still going to ride like @ss because he has 4 different tires. try to get atleast the front 2 the same and then balance.

Go get the wheels balanced, if the tires are that bad the dude that balances your wheels will most likely let you know before they balance them, or you could just ask. The tires wont make that much of a difference unless they "directional" or have damage, like "flat spots" from e-bake slides and locking up the brakes if you dont have ABS. BALANCE those bad boys
