Default Brake problem

Okay so I just bought some new wheels. Now whenever I push on the brakes around 10 to 15 mph my truck starts shaking really badly until I come to a complete stop. It almost sounds like the tires are rubbing against something but I don't know how that would be. I'm not sure what it is. Hoping someone could help me out a bit. Thanks guys

Same rims?

Seems someone gave me some rims and it did that. Ended up the rims were from a Dodge. The pattern was the same, but the center hole was just a hair too small... so the rim didn't seat all the way against the hub.

Another thing it could be is taht your new rims might not have enough offset to clear the brake calipers.

Seems if the tires were rubbing. then it would make more noise as you went faster. But, if it were "me", I wouldn't be driving it until I figured out what it was doing.
