Other than mismatched rims/tires what would cause this?

Tires are the same size, shop said they made sure to put the wider wheels on the back, they are going to check them for me. Fronts look the same too.

So if the wheel and tires are correct, what is next? Car also pulls hard to the right when under good acceleration.

sticking calipers?

crown of the road?

when was your last alignment?

What wheel?, are they oem? Shop said wider wheel on the back, what is the size of your summer tires?

To many questions.

I think shop installed the tires and wheel incorrectly.

FYI... I think this thread on the wrong subforum.... this is suspension, chassis and brakes.

OME wheels. 398s. 245s are up front and 255s are out back. I think they put the wrong tire on the wrong wheel.
The shop is going to look at it tomorrow. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me, both times with different shops.
If it isn't the wheel/tires, wouldn't it be the suspension/chassis

Well a question back at you... have you done something on your suspension/ chassis ie like replace an arm... lowering springs or replacement spring or shocks.

I think this lies on the wheel and tires. Could be possible they put the wheel for the front at the rear. You should be able to determine just looking at the wheel... they should be different offset

jh_f30 · 06-02-2020, 09:37 PM

Can't you just go out and check the tire sizes to make sure the wheels are mounted in the correct positions? If you have a 255 up front, you know you have a problem.

Edit. Nvm, I just reread the thread. If you have tools, you could pull the wheels off. Pretty sure the wheel size and offset are stamped on the inside of each wheel.

+1 if it was fine BEFORE the new tires/install, high chances, they mounted the rear tires on the front rims and vice versa.

weehe126 · 06-02-2020, 11:25 PM

You don't even need to pull the rims, although that is still really easy. just jack up each corner and look at the rim size stamped on the back.

jh_f30 · 06-03-2020, 12:22 AM

Also, if they did indeed mount tires on the wrong wheel sizes, find a better shop. That's carelessness and poor attention to detail. I'd also check your pressures and lug bolt torque values...who knows what else they might've overlooked?

2000Z3M · 06-11-2020, 05:17 PM

Well the shop messed it up, they fixed it but I will never be going back again.

staggered rims/tires. shop put a rear tire in a front rim and a front tire on a rear rim.
