I have a 2007 NBS Vmax with a 6" lift and 35"s on 17" atx thugs with I think 15mm of offset (the most I could get) anyways the truck vibrates quite abit on the highway from 40MPH+. It did this with my old wheel/tire setup and I bought my new wheel/tire combo from 4 wheel parts with the high speed balancing so I assume thats not my problem. Anyways my diver side tire rubs on the front of my fender when backing up with the wheels cut hard over. The passenger side does not. I dunno if thats a big deal or not but I found it strange. I was wondering if that may mean I need an alignment. My old tires were 345s and they seem to wear evenly so I figured if it was an alignment I wouldve noticed it on my tires, ecspecially them being that wide. Any input would be appreciated on whats causing the vibration and why one tire rubs and the other does not.

I just had both wheel bearings replaced under warenty last week, I was hoping that was causing my vibration but apparently not. Maybe I oughta bring it back to the dealer and get someone to take it for a test drive...

Its a fabtechit was advertised a 7" lift but as far as I know fabtech doesnt make a 7" lift so I assume its a 6", I bought the truck with the lift and the vibration but just associated it to having a lifted truck with big tires. A couple of my friends have pointed it out to me lately so I thought I'd look into it. He said the lift was put in by a good shop and I cant see him spending 50K+ on a new truck then not getting a proper shop to install it. When my wheel bearing went it literally went from being fine to the worst grinding scraping noise you can imagine and I checked the U-joints when I was trying to figure out what the noise might be, they were fine. The vibration doesn't really bother me and I dont even notice it until somebody mentions it.
