Forgive the newbie, I have a Savage X 4.6 RTR I just put on 40 series wheels and now when I run it I seem to have alot of wobble especially in 2nd gear. I checked the wheels both on and off the truck and they seem to be o.k. Does anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

did you cut any holes in the tires or rims to allow the air/dirt to escape during rotation? not doing so will sometimes cause the wheels to be un-balanced and shake and wobble during operations.

No I didn't come to think of it, I'll give that a try. There are holes already in the rims but they may be too small. Thanks.

put a couple in the tries also... two will be fine 180* apart. but on a monter truck you may need a third hole because of the size of the tire. hope this works... let us know how it goes!

I run 40 series wheels on my Genesis GST ..No problems
Wheels are predrilled..What Tires are you using?They Might be out of
balance when made..Can you get any wheel wobble not running the truch from side to side?If so you need to install a shim bhind your wheel adapter likw 1mm...I had to do that to my son's nemesis...
EDIT:This is a very good tire for that wheel...grabs excellent..
