Steering wheel shaking with new rims!!!

Hey guys I just bought 22'' tires with 305-40-22 tires, the rims are 30mm offset. My trucks is now riding pretty stiff, I can feel every bump, which this was kind of expected with the big rims.
-But my steering wheel shakes when I go over 30 mph, and keeps getting worse the faster I go . Is this normal? What can i do to fix it? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

No, it's not normal... Sounds like you have a balancing problem with those new rims and tires. I'd go back to where ever you got them from and have them re-balance the tires. You might want to have them or someone else do that "roadforce" balancing which is supposed to be way better than standard balancing...

Good luck!
