once i get above 55~ the whole car shakes not in the steering wheel just the whole car. the only thing i changed was that i rotated my tires yesterday, i drove around in the city never going over 50mph~ so i cant say when it started but it had to be after i rotated my tires, i am sure i double checked all my lugs but i am going to make sure on my lunch break.

i am thinking its one of my rims or so is out of balance perhaps~ being on the back it was not noticable. It could be my rotors messed up but when i brake the car brakes perfectly normal.
 
i just checked the lugs with my stock tire iron there were a couple that were a little loose but i dont think anything to cause a shaking, i am gonna try to get them balanced on my lunch break or drive home slowly and get it done in the morning, since the lugs are tight i dont realy worry about something bad happening there. We will see though.....

You probably put on wheel on crooked...oh some mysterious other problem just happened to occur at the exact moment u rotated ur tires :D
