Hey from Dallas Texas

I found this site searching for an answer to why my steering wheel shimmys with my new Anthem wheels.
I hope to hang out and learn something here.

 

Thanks guys..

Not sure if I should start a thread about it.
In my google searching I found a member here that has the same wheels and wanted to send him a PM.

Alignment is good.
I had no shimmy with the same tires with stock wheels.
I've only had the new wheels on for about 3 months.

I have a 2014 2wd DC with the TSS package, only 17K miles.
Leveled with Bilstien 6112s, 5160s in the rear.
Right now the truck sits perfectly level, going to add some Coachbuiler shackles later this summer and get a little rake back.
Stock wheels are black TSS 20x9 with 50+ offset.
Stock tires BFG KO 285/55/20.
No problems until I bought Anthem wheels, only difference was the new wheels were 18+ offset.
I used the stock tires.
I've had my wheels balanced 6 times, twice with road force.
Had them turn the tires and remount as well.

Shimmy was really bad at first, more like shake out of my hands.
The wheel seller has sent me 2 extra wheels (no cost to me), 2 were bad when new according to my second tire guy (he did the road force).
They needed a ton of weight even without a tire.
I'm returning the bad wheels today, at the sellers expense.
I'd like to send them all back, but don't think they will refund the mounted wheels.
I will say Anthem has been very helpful throughout this ordeal.
But in the end, my tundra doesn't like these wheels, and I (nor anyone else) can figure out why.

I can't get rid of the 55 to 70 mph shimmy.
Sometimes is seems better than others.
Just when I think it is gone, it comes back.
Runs smooth 0 to 55 and 70 to 95.

I'm about ready to put my stock wheels back on but I sure do like the wider offset with my fender flares.
I KNOW the shimmy will go away with the stock wheels.
Had my tire guy put 2 stock wheels back on the front and it went away.

Thought I could just deal with the shimmy, but I can't.
I noticed over the weekend it is worse on wet roads.
There is no reason I should deal with a shaking steering wheel on a one year old truck for the next 10 years.
I intend to keep this truck at least that long.
I had my 05 Tundra DC for 11 years and 135K miles.

I've wasted over $400 in trips to tire shops, mounting, balancing, remounting, etc..
I've spent hours and hours googling and reading about Tundras having issues with SOME aftermarket wheels.
Lots of threads on several forums on the shimmy, but there is no clear answer to want causes the issue.
I know several guys on my other Tundra forum that have no issues with their aftermarket wheels.
Some even have the same size/offset that I'm running.

I've tried everything, including extended thread lug nuts..

 

Have you tried moving the suspect tire/wheels to different locations to see if the problem changed? Some tires are just defective from the factory. A reputable tire shop should be able to help you figure out what's going on.
