SC300 Drifting Left & Right after 17X8 Rim installation
After installing 17X8 GS400 rims and tires when my car hits a bump the car tends to drift to the left or right. I just installed brand new Falken ZE 512 235-45 17 on the car and a year ago i had my lower control arm bushings installed. one week ago I had the tires rebalanced and it a little better. has someone had the same probvlem and how can I correct It

welcome to the club... but you will be much better responses in the wheels and tires forum... I'm sure the moderators will move it there to get more exposure..
I would check the "bumpsteer" post... seems like similar problem.

I have the same issue... I have a new set opf enkei's 18" with the falkens... I have the azenis.. anyway the problem is less severe since I have put a couple of miles on my tires.. I as well need to have my tires hunter machined balanced.

Thanks for the quick responce. I have to do alittle more investigating to see what I will need before doing doing an alignment. VSsc400 sugguested droping the tire pressure to 35 PSI on the tires first and see what the results were. He has lowered and changed rims on his car a few times had has a ton of experience with this. I will keep you posted.
