Default Car pulling to follow the road

Hi guys I have a GS 450 H with standard it wheels and 20mm spacers all round. my problem is that the car keeps tracking in every groove in the road it would literally want to pull the steering wheel from you. I have had geo alignment so the car is running straight but for some reason he just wants to pull its not left or right in particular it's witch ever way it wants it is not the road as an RX 450 H and Isf does not do it on the same roads come to think of it any car I drive does not do it has anyone else experienced.

Please note I'm not on about a gradual pull As if the alignment was out I'm talking a yank on the steering wheel ?

It has Good Pirelli Pzeros 245-40-18 on it can it be them ?
If it was the tyres them wouldn't all cars do it with them fitted and they are a very popular tire ?

Ok so I have an update
I took the 20mm spacers off the front and the car drives like a dream.
So my question is
Has anyone else had this issue when they have fitted spacers ?
Should the geo on the front be set different to the standard setup when you have spacers and if so does anyone know what ?
Thanks 👍

alignment.

your giving your wheels more of an angle with the spacers from factory alignment.

doubt its those tires. I've had numerous amounts of different tires ranging from cheap to expensive and they all followed the road because of the alignment setup.

i didnt have it when i was on stock wheels. then i lowered the car and it followed the road. got an alignment... and it stopped it.

i got wider wheels so i cambered in the front and now it follows the road again. lol its not bad though im use to driving cars like it.
