Default Question about my 35s

Just wanted to ask. Is it normal. That my steering wheel wobbles a bit with my 35sand two inch lift Mechanic
Said because they are big tires it's natural.

Don't mind. Just want to know. Thanks.

Nope. They need balanced. If you get them balanced and it still does it you have a bad tire or a bent rim. Your mechanic is full of shit

Ya that's what I was thinking. Good friend of mine to. Just a goof. Even over charged me to get the lift on. Thanks man. I got the tires used and already on the rims. I doubt the rim is bent. But I'll get them balance. Thanks man

It's not that bad. Like it's not all
Over the road. Steering wheel has a little wobble while moving. Most of the time. But sometimes doesn't happen. Probably is the balancing. When I look at them while moving ( since they stick out from fenders and I can see them from window). They look like they may be wobbling.
I'll get em checked. And let u guys know.
Can't be death wobble cause on the highway it's nice.
