Wheel Shifting...

[meadus101]

Okay, So i put the rims i bought from blackdog on my car on Tuesday. It went fairly well, other than me realizing I'm horribly out of shape, and using just a small tire iron that comes with our cars.

the issue is, when driving, the car seems to shift. the wheels are on tight, I checked them all.

when I say shift, i mean it pulls to one side but only on certain occasions. I could be driving and if I let go the wheel would be straight, but 2 seconds later, I could let go and it will pull into the left lane.

there is no sound or anything, just the jerking of the wheel.

I re-tightened the bolts after driving for a little bit, I can't find anything else it could be. Tire pressure is good.

there's a possibility that the performance tires are just slamming me around the Ruts in the road, they're pretty bad here in NL. but i'd like to be sure.

Anyone else got any ideas? things to look for?

alignment much? uneven tire wear?
^first 2 things I'd check for^

when was your last alignment?

Yep sounds like alignment to me

Doubt it but ya never know

I wouldn't doubt its just the oversized tires/rims. I had a camaro that did this when the tires were just 10mm wider than the oem stock size

Wider tires will drive you all over the road. An alignment will help but they'll still have a mind of their own. Keep both hands on the wheel!
