They also said the aftermarket rims have spacers because they are not the correct offset and the spacers are not Hubcentric so the only thing holdig the wheels in place is the studs and that is also causing the back wheels to "hop" and adding to the vibration and tire wear issues.

They said my best bet is to buy a new rim/tire package and sell/scrap the package I have now.
A little good news and a lot of bad news. I'm sorry to hear that, a bearing problem would have been a lot cheaper.
