did that today after work. we put them on with about 80 lbs on the studs. i also found some rub on the right fender, as in i could see the black marks on the inside of the fender. i guess ill have to go back to discount tire and see what they think unless you guys can help.

You are stock height? Did you go right from 16" stockers to 17"? Maybe you need to try a 205 tire?

Mine vibrated like crazy, then I got the rings put in and they were perfect. I didn't have any thumping noise though. Could be your tire rubbing something
