SilverLS400

Yea so last week i just got some 18's with 245/40/18 tires and the steering wheel been pulling towards the right eversince. I took it to the shop for aligment and they said it was good. Took the car back to the rim shop they balanced every tire over again and put these little caps on my rotors and it still pulls. When i had the factory tires and rims this never happen. Is anyone having the same problem.

Sounds like a tire pull, a defective tread or belts in the tire. Try swaping tires from right to left and then front to back and see what changes if anything.

I have changed the wheels on my LS400 too. I have 245/35/19 on mine. That is normal for any to be pull toward the left or right depending on the angles of the road. Because the tires are wider and heavier that's why. It is normal thing. You might not notice it but when the road is wet and rough, sometime it feels like your tail is sliding, it is also normal because your tires are bigger than the hole. Most stock tire are high profile and not as wide, so it tends to go toward the hole. Anyway, it is normal with bigger rims and wider tires. It will also make your steering wheel heavier.
