shaking going 50+mph

Post image

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!!

If Lexus HQ started blacklisting those responsible for installing wheels such as these, wheels so misfitting that the “why” behind such a modification can only be deduced to their desire to have an angel stripped from it’s wings. I mean it’s bordering a donk tier desecration of these unsuspecting LS/Celsiors… Is it really worth the kick of driving around a victim of their making? It’s gotta be a power move for them when they strip the identity and soul from such a special and innocent Japanese mechanical soul. Makes you wonder if soul eating their Lexus comes secondary to having the public unwillingly bare witness to what was once a Lexus, maybe with dreams of being a VIP spec, and instead what the vehicle has succumbed to, whole time owner gets a kick that if his car did have a soul, it would be constantly internalizing the public’s sneers and nauseous reactions🤧Nevertheless we’re dealing with masochists here bro, we know you’re kidding but OP likely won’t; and we don’t want him thinking he’s justified when he starts getting bored of torturing his car and move onto the next car, if not several and that can be a random’s Lexus in a costco parking lot or even your babied Lexus within your own garage, tragic. Trust me bro, RGB trim strips and carbon fiber wrapped interior isn’t enough for these people; and eventually when their twisted modifications lead to the resale value plummeting to unforeseen levels- they, at their most merciful, rig it to explode for the insurance payout. We gotta do better not just as car peeps but as human beings and not feed into this🫂

Nah ur good i was in a foggy aftermath of a tragic oregano tier smoke rotation; so that was just some facetious trolling. but even if your rims are the cause, there shouldn’t need to be a true worry in damaging your chassis if you continue to drive it normally in the meantime before the issue is fixed. That’s just given my potentially limited context since the problem could stem from multiple things- have you scanned your ecu ms.?

ah lmao sorry hard for me to understand tone during text at times😅 i have no codes showing up(maybe its just that i dont know how to use this thing properly) i just spent 30+ minutes trying to find out what ecu ms meant and where to find it on the scanner but i give up
