steering is all weird..
 
Hey whenever i drive my is300 like idk if my tyre rods are bent or something but when i drive it it steers to the right. like if i let the wheel go it will turn right. idk if its because the tyre rods are bent though. and it vibrates a little when i drive. idk whats the problem though.

Steer to the right is an alignment problem, however, vibrate while driving could be something else...it could almost be anything, lca, like u said bad tie rods/ends..imbalanced/bent wheels, at worst early signs of bad wheel bearings...the list goes on..

Time for a tire rotation and balance and an alignment

I dont think he can rotate with his wheel sizes. BUT he can get a balance and alignment. Also check rack and pinion bushings while you're at it.

oh good point. Adding wheels and tires to my car at 130k caused everything to start going out like front bearings, ball joints and tie rods. I changed everything but still had a little shake up front at about 50mph. After getting my alignment the shake went away

with staggered wheels you have to get your tires flipped.
