Rim change car pulling to left

Giovanino79 · 02-06-2012, 08:05 AM

Hello all,
Was hoping someone can help me. I have an 09 335i X-drive and it came with stock 17", I recently removed the 17" and put OEM 18" Staggered, but when driving the DSC light keeps coming on I also deactivated it and I still have the same problem its like the car pulls to the left. Its driving me crazy b/c I can't figure out why it does it. It's not constant but happens quite often. Does anyone know what the problem could be. Would appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

wheel alignment?

Don't believe so thats the issue, did a lil research and from what i understand that problem is due to the back tires being height 45 instead of 35, throwing it off. Thats what i was told. I am going to try to put the stock rims on and see if I encounter that issue. Thanks for info though.

Last question, the tpms on the new rims do not show up when i try to reset tpms. Why is that? is it possible to have them to the car if I go to the dealer and ask them?

You can damage your Xdrive if you're not running specs within the safety margin.

Where do i confirm the specs within the safety margin? Once i saw something was wrong I didnt use the car anymore. Didnt want to take a chance.
