regardless of what year you have you have to take them off. like posted above, the stock wheels are made for these clips aftermarket r not and also when you change your rotors down the line you will have to remove them anyways so do yourself a favor and toss em!

I am having the same problem as described above since I got my lift, tires and wheels.. After new Ball Joints, Steering Stabalizer and 4-5 ballences I still get rapid shakes in the wheel between 48-53mph. I wish I would have left everything stock because I am annoyed to even drive it. I thought that maybe ballencing a 15x8 wheel might be the problem but I read this is happening with larger diamiter rims as well.

I wonder if because my wheels are not hubcentric if I need hub rings??? I read that some wheels cause vibrations if you don"t have hubrings...

I may end up switching back to the stock wheels and puting 33"s on those.

Hub rings will help ensure that your non hub centric rims are perfectly centered. I am getting this same vibration with my MB72 15x8 wheels with a 78.1 hub bore and the jeeps hubs is 71.5. So if you don't torque your wheels in the air your rims could be off center a little bit due to the difference in the rims hub bore and the jeep hub size. If I torque my wheels on the ground the vibration is terrible, so now I make sure to torque them in the air.

Make sure whoever is balancing your tires uses the lug-centric attachment for the balance. Otherwise it will not be accurate

They look at me like I have 3 heads :(
