Front end alignment, tires need balancing, or you got WARPED ROTORS.

One of them three. I seriously doubt that your rotors are warped with that new truck but i guess its possible.

take your wheels off and take the round metal clips on the studs off that hold the rotor/drums on the hub and axles

use a screwdriver and/or a pair of pliers. Once that is done, go get an alignment.

this will allow the wheel to seat on the hub, and your lug nuts won't get loose.

your stock wheels have a recess for them and your aftermarket wheels dont..it will cause problems..seen it happen several times on customers cars and trucks that they bring in
