First the Good news, then the bad...

Alright, im stoked because i finally got front-runners on my car.
some 13 x 6 centreline dragways that look pretty nice.

the problem though is the car is now pulling to the left and i dont know why.
the car was fine with my old wheels on it but with these its just not, so i dont think i need a wheel realignment.

i put the wheels on myself, so i dont know if i put them on 100% correct, THAT is what i think it may be.

The tires are stretched 175's so i dont know if that also may be the problem.
I also pumped up both tires to check if it was just the pressure, but it isnt that.

ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME

cheers

check tyre pressures on the tyres, one could be lower than the others. And if this fails, get the alignment checked.

Also, was the road you tested it on cambered, as that will make the car pull left if it is sloped.

Lets look at the variables here.

does the car pull to the left under braking, or accelerating?
you can test if it pulls by holding the steering wheel loosely, and in a controlled manner applying brake pressure and check if the car pulls to either side under braking.

but most importantly, get your wheels balanced, any compentent tyre fitting company can do it in 10mins.
also check the wheels you have are a matching pair, and not 2 different wheels with 2 different offsets.

trial and error is your friend

ok...well the fact i wrote i checked the tire pressure and already ruled that out, im SURE it isnt that.
i was driving in blackwood, coro and belair and it pulled a little.

the wheels i got are the same pirelli's and the same rims.
cheers

well if your sure its not any of them.

then it must be allignment..

go get your wheels balanced and a wheel alignment.

are they the same tyres?? maybe the car they were previously on were scrubbing out so slightly sloped on one edge hence the pulling

there could also be a buckeled rim, unbalanced or incorrect balancing.

unbalanced wheels can have a huge effect steering feel. also if they are used tyres they check for camber damage and equal tread wear this may also play a part in how the wheels behave.

also if you had poor grip rubber on the stock wheels these nothing to say they it wasnt out of alignment. better rubber, more track may cause these problems to be more pronounced.

also you still have not said when it pulls one way, under braking, accseleration, constant speed all the time.

havnt hit any gutters lately? a mate hit a gutter and it put hit alignment out by alot streched a castor rod moving the whole lca back. i have massive toe out for some reason on my ke and it dosent seem to have any advers effects for some reason.
