steel rims..right ones? need help!
Hi guys, well it's been about a month or so that i had the winter tires with steel rims installed. I'm still having a slight vibration at the wheel and can also be heard in the cabin. I asked my mech about the rims when i got them, cause i'm sure that they're not the right ones for my 2006 v70. They are 5 bolt but don't have the extra little hole for the screw that holds the disc with the hub. he said you don't need the screw and removed it. I was looking at "Volvo" rims and they do have the extra hold...here are the numbers that are stamped on the rim :
VOV516004
16X6.5
52.5 63.3
9225
5/105
my tire size is:
215/55/r16
so, do i really need that little screw that goes into the hub?
can the vibration be caused by wrong size rims?
can it also be my bearing (hub) that needs to be replace?
thanks

RSPI..hey there.. the tires and rims are brand new and don't think they got any major dings yet..i spoke to two other volvo guys and both mentioned that soemtimes with steel rims that are not "volvo" (like the ones i have) there may be a little play in the centerbore (which i think i have a bit) and that can cause vibrations...i'll check it out..
