Aftermarket Wheel Vibrates

i was just curious if any other G30 series are having any vibrations from aftermarket wheels. I have personally checked for bent rims, and the balance of them. I am running a 19in 8.5 wide all the way around. i am using them for my winter tires pirelli s3. i have had the alignment checked as well as having tem road forced. The only abnormal thing that i have noticed is that even though the hub is the same size. is that when i install the wheel bolts in all five holes i run in the bolt just before they bottom out, it has some movement left and right. So if the hub is staying still its like the bolt holes are perhaps over sized because of this movement. Any thoughts if this might be my issue? when i bought the wheels the company sold me a different wheel lug bolt. that has a different shoulder on it. how can i mKe sure it is centered? or should i be checking something else. BTW the factory wheels also hve some of this same movement

you can kind of see the difference between the two bolts. the black is factory. the wheel company said that i would need to use the chrome one

well i believe i gotnit figured out, i ended up swapping out the aftermarket wheel bolt that was suggested to be used with the aftermarket wheels with the original set of bolts. i also when installing them made sure to run them all in equally and then carefully torqued them all down evenly. Hopefully this will help any others that might run into the same issue

Sounds like the aftermarket wheels are not hub-centric?

Have you double checked that you got the correct size hub rings.

Center Bore for G30 is 66.56mm.

The wheels should not be centred by the wheel bolts, but with the hub-centric fitment (or the hub rings).

i know about the center bore, and i am not feeling that thats the issue, but the movement that i am referring to is not up in down. I but left and right if that makes sense. i guess its kind of hard to explain. but this is the specs from the wheel
