Wobble Wobble Vibrate

Hapy New Year to all!
I've recently converted my truck cab to hard top. Whilst at the scrap yard, I noticed they had some nice freestyle alloys with even nice BFG All Terrains on them. I don't know the exact sizes etc of the tyres and it's raining at the moment so I'll not be going and looking!
The tyres were fitted and I drove the 60 miles back from Telford with them without a problem (although due the lack of rear door at the time, the cold was more of an issue!)
I've since noticed that the whole vehicle vibrates/wobbles when accelerating between about 40 and 50. It doesn't matter whether I'm in 4th or 5th at the time. The whole vehicle wobbles. If I'm decelerating from 50 to 40, there's no wobble. I had the wheels balanced on the weekend but it still happens...
I believe it could be anything from the transfer box to the diffs to the propshafts...
Any other ideas from anyone or am I best taking it into the garage?
Xtremeteam:
did you fit the wheels aswell?
Does your 90 have drum rear brakes?
jamesledingham:
Yes I fitted them, but ATS were the last to have them off and on when they balanced them at the weekend
I think they're rear drum brakes...
rollazuki:
They wont fit onto the mounting flange. They foul on either the drum, or the drive flange and dont seat all the way down(well, at least they did with mine)
Effectively means your wheels arent correctly attatched.
jamesledingham:
even with spacers?
The wheels are the same - I had freestyle alloys before. I just bought a new set of the same wheels with different tyres on them!
