Default jus put on new wheels! too much "vibration"

I have an 08 Scion Tc

I got a set of rims (17" DZ)a few days ago and put them on... I used the stock tires for my new rims which are 17"/7" but 40 mm. I also had to use tuner lugs, my stock lugs wouldnt fit. Everything fit but I have alot more vibration when i hit bumps or get over 55mph. I understand that our cars are very bumpy in the first place however, i dont feel any vibration on the wheel it is mainly in the cockpit(seat,floorboard etc.)
PLEASE HELP!

Is there something i can put onto the wheel or something i can check to make sure it is ok???

You need Hubcentric Rings, which most places don't give you when they should. OR you need to have your tires rebalanced...

Hubcentric Rims go on the hub before the rim goes on. Here is a diagram to show you better. It prevents the wheels from vibrating...

You need to find out what the hub diameter is of your wheels. Call the manufacturer for that or the place you bought them at. The diameter of the tC is 54.1. When you order the center ring, just say you need an outer diameter of (whatever your wheel is) to an inner diameter of 54.1. Let me know if you have any questions.
