Alignment problem

bmwamir330xi · 09-15-2009, 11:24 AM

Hey guys, i recently purchased a set of 19" vip status wheels with yokohoma s-line tires, and my car was pulling to the right. Then i got an alignment and my car is still pulling to the right... whats the problem??

when i had my stock 17" on i had no pulling, car was perfect.

i've had the SAME problem with those wheels with my accord......they were 19x8.5 all around....never figured out why tho......just learned to overcompensate for it. are the wheels all balanced?

I'm curious to know what the culprit is. Are they staggered?

i dont have the print outs.. and there not staggered 19x8.5 all round...i got this alignment done at woodbridge alignment, i dont know should i go to bmw to do the alignment, im still under warranty so i dont want them to void anything on my car becuase of my aftermarket wheels

where do people recommend going for an alignment? i'm thinking about getting one done.

If you are going to a BMW dealer, probably looking at about $120 - $150 range. I had mine done this past spring @ Autohaus for 4 wheel alignment.

maybe the tire threads are defective, and are making you pull right. thats what happened to my general's
