    torque them in the air till you can get some hubrings to eliminate any vibration if the wheels are balanced correctly

      Those are all stud/nut setups. Bolts don't work that well to center wheels.

      To the OP, make sure you have hubcentric spacers and make sure all your wheels are balanced. I can't tell you how many "Tire shops" my customers come from with brand new, freshly balanced wheels that are WAY out of balance. I don't get it, it's not really that hard...

          I'm used to studs or stud kits. This lug-bolt stuff is confusing. It just doesn't make sense that a hub centric ring could center the wheel that well when you have 4 tapered surfaces locating the part. (thinking of it in terms of engineering stuff)

            were the rear wheels also balanced?
