ok i did some research and found that our wheel hub spacing is 67.1 mm( correct me if im wrong) and my rims hae an offset of +45, would this be the cause of vibration? like would some hubcentric rings solve this annoying problem? not to keen on wheels so this may not even be he right question to ask, so sorry if this makes no sense. but TIA

go to a shop and tell them you want them to road force your tires...most balance machines have a road force option. and what itll do is measure the runout of the tire and rim and let you know if you have a bent rim or an, like otter said, out of round tire. im a machanic for a mercedes dealership and we get cars in all the time with uneven tire wear and even on some brand new tires they can be out of round, it would be covered by manufacturer if that was the case. im almost 100% sure thats your problem based on what ive experienced. but GL
