Ok I finally installed my wheels and tires today. it was a bit of a valintines day gift to my tc. anyways the wheels are stern st-2 (18x8.5) wrapped in toyo proxes 4 (225/40/1. and after a bit of driving my car's wheel alignment is a bit off. it keeps pulling towards the right a bit. not too much tho. I have an 07 w/4300 miles. the guys at discount tire said that it is normal and when I install me springs (hopefully soon) the car will be ok. so i just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone and if i should worry? thanks

 

You need to get it aligned.

 

align it. your tires will wear really bad if not. did you get those rims off of ebay?

 

Align after u get it lowered..why pay Twice...right?

 

OH..And Discount Tires Suk!!...They scratch wheels!!..
Then claim they didn't do it...GGGRrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

tires shouldnt throw off your alignment especially at 4300 miles. I have about that onmy car and i switch back and forth through three sets of tires(race tires, burnout tires and show rims) and no problems. Chances are one of the tires is low, or high on air. Check all your pressures they should not be more than 2psi off or it will pull.
p.s. lower it then get it aligned.

 

you have pictures of the wheels on the car?

those are the same ones i plan on getting

 

Thanks for the advice guys I plan to lower my car soon and then get the alignment done, do any of you know much that would cost for spring installation and alignment?

customtuners - nah i didn't want to chance anything form ebay so I ordered them from www.1010tires.com pretty good site, just had a little problem with shipping.

doomed - i plan on taking a lot of pics tomorrow and i will hopefully have them posted by then.

Thanks again
