Front end/ Steering issues

[natedawg87]

Hey everyone.

I just recently picked up some tires and rims off of a friend of mine for my truck. They are considerably larger than the stock and they look amazing on it. But I've noticed that when I'm on the brakes anywhere between 35mph and 45 mph the steering wheel goes nuts and the front end just shakes like there's no tomorrow.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this. And if anyone can tell me why it may be doing this. I really don't want to have to get rid of my newly acquired tires for this reason. Please help!

Well first thing that comes to mind is warped rotors? Did it only start after you put the different wheels on? May need to get them balanced.
