I am excluding the old 4x4 Panda as too dated and the Quattro as too expensive to run. Thanks!

I have a 2006 silverado 4x4, I put 22inch wheels on it and now I have a horrible brake shimmy, all new rotors. After installing 22inch rims on my 06 silverado 4x4, I got a horrible brake shimmy only when applying the brakes, I took it in and got new rotors, had tires rebalanced over and over and had all suspension checked, the truck only has 25k on it. I bought the wheels from a friend who had an 05 silverado 2wheel drive and he had no problems. I love the truck and absolustly love the 22s, but if I cant solve this mystery i will have to sell and drop back down to 20s. Any ideas please post, I have done all the obvious things the dealers and I could think of, I am hoping someone out there has had some kind of issue and found the problem. Another friend of mine has the same problem on his 06 tahoe, all the same issues and he has been trying to solve the same issue. Thank you so much. chris cintrue23at yahoo

GMC 20 inch wheels with 275/55SR20 Goodyear Eagle LS-2 tires transfered from 2007 Sierra 1500 Crewcab 4x4 with SLT trailering package with 3.73 rear end, to a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 crewcab 4x4 with Max trailering package that had 17 inch wheels with Bridgestone Dueler A/T on off road P265/70SR17 tires on it.
