350z wheels on 4th generation maxima

I have a 1997 Nissan Maxima and i put the 17" 350z wheels on it. I am feeling a slight vibration while driving it. All are balanced so i have no idea what the problem is. Are these wheels RWD only? Does anyone have these on their car and have the same problem?

Perhaps the tires are cupped. I had some Michelin Sport Pilots that two of which were cupped and vibrated. Problem gone after replacement. The thing was was that you couldn't even tell they were cupped, they looked almost like good tires. THe tire shop guy even thought they weren't cupped and I had to convince him to sell me replacement by explaining the vibration and road noise (sounds like big knobby 4x4 truck tires howl).
