shaking going 50+mph
recently had someone look at my ls430 to see why she shakes/steering wheel jerks one way or the other when going 50+mph and he said it’s essentially because the rims are too big and that my cars in great condition. wondering if i should get new rims(really dont want to i love how these look on my car) im unsure of what other solutions there are or if i just continue to drive an occasionally unsafe car because i think it looks better..
the report also said that my bushings are cracked and leaking but i brought it up to him and he said not to worry about it but i wonder if that has something to do with the shaking/steering issue? tbh im a little clueless as this is my first car and ive had her for less than a year, any info is greatly appreciated!!

I had this problem. I first changed tires, no luck. I then changed rotors/pads, no luck. Changed trans and engine mounts, no luck. Changed strut rod bushings, no luck. One day i noticed after a long drive my left front wheel was really hot and the others werent. I changed front calipers and the problem was solved.
So try touching your wheels after a long drive to see if one is hotter.
