Hi, i've jus got my car on the road this week and the steering seem to be shaking a little and think it could be because of the 18" wheels. Does anyone else have this problem.

check the wheels have been balanced properly,i replaced everything on the front end because i had shaking but it turned out to be my new 17" alloys and tyres hadnt been balanced properly.they will put extra strain on the balljoints etc though.

Also check your tyre pressures as it wont be very visable if you have a flat tyre.
With 18"s you will feel alot more of the road and if the road is a bit rough, you are gonna feel it.
