i know...i've thought that since I had it done but the wheel was rubbing when i drove and there was an issue with spaces ... basically i didnt do it the way it should have been done. i feel like i dont know **** about my car or whats been done to it, thats why im glad i found this site. i want to start doing things myself so i know whats going on with it ... i'm going to try to spend the day on it tomorrow.

Well, apparently the culprit for rubbing the tire was a bolt on the passenger side that wasn't shaved down like it was on the driver side and another issue was that the tires I had on the car were 1/2" wider than the 8" recommendation for the car ... bought new tires for the 17s today and having them installed tomorrow.

Next, considering having them "tune up" the car too ...

Tbh when I first bought my 430, I didn't know much about these cars either. I had always been into mustangs and camaros. If you like to read and use the search you can definitely learn a lot from this forum. Good luck with your car bro!
