Exclamation Pro star problem

Well I thought I had a bad set of tires, but it looks like my rear pro stars aren't centering up. Has anybody had this problem with rear pro stars? It make the wheel look out of round and a serious vibration.

Yep, no spacer. Not a clearance issue. Balancing, out of round, not centering issue.

If you have your star washers still installed on the studs, remove them.

Stars are gone. Not an in and out wobble, a up and down movement.

Have you had the wheels/tires balanced? Or checked again?

Yep did a stud centered balance on them (not a hub centered), it helped the vibration but it's still there. Just lookin to see if anybody else has had the problem, not really lookin for solutions.
