tight steering wheel

[JVIP]

So I've noticed since i put the new rims (stock 5 star) on when I turn to the left and right at times it feels very tight and pulling not smooth. Ive also noticed that on the highway the ride been bumpy and pulls to either side..anyone have a clue when this could be...

No leaks or any problems prior to putting the new rims on...

Thanks fella's

Was the vehicle aligned properly??

The tighter feel is expected when you upgrade to bigger/wider wheels.

Those wheels are 1.5 wider than what you had on before. May not sound like a lot, but it is. And, you probably feel the grooves on the road more than you did before.

You are right. I don't know why i thought gen 1 16s were six inch wide. I was thinking off something else.

Ill be taking the car for an alignment to see if that fixes the problem.
