Usually vibration is caused by wheel balance problems but also make
sure the wheels are bolted evenly. Wiggle them as you bolt each
one down to make sure the lugnuts seat nice and centered.  You can
try moving the front wheels to the back and see if that has any effect,
at least it may confirm a balance issue.
