Default Vibration problem.

Got some new wheels on my Audi A4 and hade them bored out to 66.6. problem is when I put them on I see a gap approximately 1-2 mm gap. When I put them on, the wheel was able to wobble a little bit and had to hold up the wheel to get in 1-2 bolts. This could lead to vibrations right?. Steering wheel and whole car starts to shake around 55+ 70+ its getting real bad. I already had them wheel balanced and wheel force balanced.

I assume you have a B8 chassis with the 66.56 mm hubs. If your wheels were bored out and you still have a 1-2mm gap the shop must have bored them too large, you want a pretty snug fit maybe .1-.2mm of clearance at most. Your vibration is most likely the wheels being off center due to the sloppy fit, not sure if that can be cerrected eaily though, I'd ask the shop if there's anything they can do, I'd be a bit upset with them if I were you though.
