I have a new camry 2007 and i just recently installed some new rims and new tires. My car starts shaking whenever i go a little over 45. I did the balancing but didn't do the alliglement does that mean i should do it or could someting else be wrong with the car? Does a new 2007 require an alignment?

Partially agree with previous poster. There are two major types of wheel balances; static, and dynamic. Dynamic balancing involves using wheel weights on both the inside and outside rim surfaces, for the best results in most cases. Static balancing can be nearly as good, however it requires a properly trained technician to do it. No one wants weights clipped to their brand new wheels, so static is the way to go in those cases. Take it back to whoever balanced them, and have it done again. Make sure they're using a "road force" balancer; it's much more accurate than an older style machine.

Hope you kept your original wheels and tires.
The new wheels should be balanced separately before any tires are put on them and then the tires balanced when they are mounted to the balanced wheels. If you bought some decent wheels, they would have been balanced in the factory before being shipped.
You will never get the same ride as the OEM wheels and tires and anyone who has thrown money away on an aftermarket set of wheels that are not the correct size for the vehicle will tell you this. Many will also require a different set of lug nuts and bolts to make the new wheels fit the hub, safely.
Good Luck!

I agree with the previous posters about alignment. If the wheels were balanced properly and the wheels and tires are new you may have just made a poor decision on rims/tires for your car. The rims may have been manufactured poorly. If you put on 23+ inch ghetto rims, those types of wheels with low profile tires are just for looks and aren't known for their ride quality.

a car out of alignment won't make a car shake. it is something to do with the tires, balance, a tire out of round or a defective rim. if you just put weights on the inside it will not properly balance the tires

Alignment should not be your problem. If your car pull to one side or uneven tire wear from one side of car to the other, then alignment is your problem.
What size rims did you put in?
If the diameter is much bigger than stock with low profile tires, most of the road roughness will transfer back to the car, and you will feel vibration and stiffness at steering wheel and seat.

you either have a bad brand new tire or the tire balance is off, go back where you bought them and have them recheck the tire balance with a spin balancer.
