Did you remove the two drum holding screws, 11mm heads. I hope you didn't bent the wheels. These screws have to be removed for almost all non vanagon specific wheels.

Hi All,
I got replaced my stock wheels with some 17" rims/tires.
The driver's side rear wheel is wobbling like crazy when I drive. All of the lug nuts are tight.
The wheels came mounted and balanced from tire rack.
I thought maybe I hadn't tightened the nuts evenly so I took the wheel off and tried again. Same result of wobbly wheel.
Any pointers?
 BTW, these American racing rims Dennis suggested look awesome on the van!


 Cheers,
 Harry
