I have wide offset wheels on my Sierra and have no wobble so whoever told you that is wrong.

As atari said, check the rest of your components.

I would suggest that the offset is the secondary problem, your primary problem is as atari says, the wobble was always there, but went unnoticed till you put the wider spaced wheels on.

More bigger, more probs felt.

that sounds like he has just masked the underlying issue.

Yeah check your king pins and swivel hubs, the new offset rims might be just bringing an underlying issue to the surface

Just check that none of the wheel weights have come off too.
