okay i know what you mean when i got my 20's on my g35x sedan i had the same problem and i had to go to different shops until i finally figured it out you need to make sure they balance the back tires because if u have no weights on the rim that could cause a shake and u might need the rim spacers im not sure if u have them last thing make sure they have a special wheel balance machine and its up to date alighnment shouldnt cause it to vibrate do u have a all wheel drive?

Had similiar problem with my 01 Pathy. Took it back to Tire Kingdom twice....still vibration over 60.Took it to where I should have taken it to, a family business tire shop and I believe they spun the heavy side of the wheel to the light spot on the tire??? Anyway, once they did this it was fine.

you might wanna go to a different tire shop. Sounds like the one you are working with can't balance tires.
