Default Am I driving a truck? HELP!!!!

hi i have a 2004 2.0 lancer es. It sounds like im driving on 40in. tires ( roars extremely loud), pulls to the right moderately, and the steering wheel shakes once i go over about 40-50mph. now i have aftermarket rims and tires but they're aligned andbalanced. please help b/c i dont want to have to drive an hour away to a mitsubishi dealership b/c teh local "specialist" found nothing wrong. However, someone did tell me it could deal with some kind of bearing or something. Please help

You could have a bad wheel bearing starting to be noisy. How big are the aftermarket rims?

Got the same problems with My 1999 Mitsu Mirage

I put 14 inch and tires a little widerbut the car started to shake around 65 mph.

Some said that the rims and tires are too big. They said I have to change my steering wheel column, ball joints, tie rod, stabilizer bar,strutt upper bar, change stock shocks to Dampers, and bigger breaks to handle the stop

I decided to trade itin with 2008 Lancer. The dealer bought it for $2,000 and I bought the car for $2,500 with $1,000 afermarket parts
No more problems for me and beside the car was 135,000 miles

Yah hopefully it's definately not that. I have 18 in. rims with 215/30/18 tires. Now it doesnt shake that bad, it is just very loud inside my car whenever i drive it.
