You need an alignment from the sounds of it.

Can you give us the specs on your wheels and tires? They may be incorrect.

You'll need an alignment... and balance... maybe a weight from your previous alignment fell off... Check if you even had weights on your 18's... if you did it has to be replaced to balance it off again...

Forgot to ask... have you been rotating your tires... the weight of the engine tends to make the thread on your tire be lost in the inside and not the outside... rotating the tires prevents that... temporarily...

take it to an alignment shop. Sound like more than just an alignment something sounds loose or broken. Alingment shop should be able to tell you what the problem is.
