CV shaft would not cause the shaking, unless it is the inner joint that is bad.. Was the tire balanced?
Is the steering wheel off center now?

Something had been damaged and you need to give it a through check. Check the wheel lug nut for proper torquing. Ensure the replacement tire is in good condition.
