    Lost track after #1.
    Wonder if you rotate them back again if the wobble will return? If not, then it was most likely in your tie rods and/or brakes.

    Nope. It vibrated after the new rotors and tie rods. It was the wheels/tires but now I need to know which one.

    Oh your other post made it sound different. Rotate them back and see if they do it again.

    I played the rotation game as well and I have narrowed my vibration to the right front wheel that is causing the issue. I spent a lot of time moving the wheels into every imaginable position but like you when i moved my right front to the right rear the vibration is gone. I assume it's the tire but right now am so fed up and the vibration is gone that wheel is just going to stay where it is. I might take it to my buddies house and swap 2 of the tires onto each other's rims to eliminate a possible defective rim. Drove my 28ft bumper tow camper to lake george 5 hours away and very smooth ride up and back.

    You sound like me. I’m so freaking happy my steering wheel isn’t shaking that I don’t want to touch it. :thumbsup:

    So I have a 2018 Tundra Platinum that I'm about to start adding mods to. My guy at 4 Wheel Parts in Austin, TX informed me that there are very few aftermarket wheels that work for Tundra's because of the tight tolerances they have when compared to Chevy/Ford/Dodge. I asked about Fuel wheels and he told me not to bother. The only ones he has had good experience with in regards to not having the vibration is Method Racing. I don't feel he is trying to sell me because he actually pointed me to a cheaper wheel. He stated that most aftermarket wheels will cause vibration in the steering wheel for Tundra's with the exception of Method and maybe one or two others. Very hit and miss. So to answer the questions, it seems to be a wheel issue and definitely not a tire issue.
