Installed a Legamax Premium Catback. Sounds so much better with the UEL header than the stock catback did. Very pleased with my purchase!

Got 2 new Hankook tires for my front STANCE SC-5 wheels and they vibrate a bit at 70mph.
Center bore is 56.1 and the shop I go to has installed many tires on my previous cars.
I even bought some Ohtsu FP7000 tires for my 2017 Corolla and no vibration at all.
This is the 2nd set of tires I buy for the STANCE wheels and there is a minimal vibration.
Wheels are NOT bent and my BRZ has 7,050 miles.
Not sure why the vibrating on these particular wheels. Could it be the size on them?

19X8.5 FRONT / 19X9.5 REAR

I swapped wheels/tyres around to try to pin down a source of noise. I am pretty sure it is the Azenis.

I went back to stock FR-S wheels. I tried 18x8 wheels and I did not like the slight change in
handling. Worse wheel set up I got was 19x8.5 / 19x9.5.
Looking into a new set of tires for this south Florida weather.

How did the 18 by 8 wheels change the handling?

@ Will BRZ, well even though the change was not too drastic I did notice a loss in steering response.
I had 225/40 Hankook V12 tires with the Enkei TS10s in 18x8. I sold the wheels because I needed money for the house. Worse mistake I made was going with 19" wheels. Never again!
I wouldn't mind going 17x9 with sticky tires.
