350z wheels on a Z32...

I just put on the 35th anv. 5 spoke wheels on my z32. Now i'm noticing that when i accelerate past 45-50 mph it feels like my back wheels are vibrating? Is this due to the toe in from from the larger rim size? Or should i get the wheels balanced?

I know what you're thinking...why balance if they came off a factory 07' factory Z? Well the guy i bought them from had to take out the tire pressure senors to put on his new set of VOLKs and he had his friends shop do it for him. And they probably skipped the step of balancing before selling thm to me.

Would an alignment/balancing be the first thing to do?

The wheels won't change the toe... toe is front to back alignment.

Just because the car is an 07 doesn't mean the tires CAN'T be out of balance. Get them balanced first.
