I have an si with 17's on 205 wide

does it pull sideways in the steering wheel when you go over grooves in the pavement?? with 15's

i'm wondering if it's the size of the wheel or the offset that would screw with that

btw people get 15's!

I'm running 15's with either a +32 or +34 offset (can't remember), with 205 tires.

Rubs in the canyon roads on the real tight turns with elevation changes.

Zero offset or you're a *****.

I think I'm at +42 with 15x7, 195 tire right now, 205 next. Yeah, I'm a *****.
