Default new wheels pulls to right

i traded my gt3's for some c8's and now my car pulls to the right...i have to hold it straight but i can feel it try to pull...the tires on the c8's are worn down...the tires on the gt3's were brand new...we are swaping them so i can get my new ones back...do you think it pulls cuz of the worn tires? or are the rims i got slightly bent? also...the gt3's were 15x7 and had 205's on them...the c8's are 15x6.5 will they fit my 205's?

the tires probably have wear on the inside, which would make your wheels want to lean in, and if you have the slightest bit of toe on one wheel, it could make the car pull to the right.
Even if you get the new tires put back on, i'd recommend getting an alignment.

yes get an alignment when you swap wheels. 205's will work on the 6.5 but they might bubble out a lil unless they have stiff sidewalls.

Take it to the nearest tire kingdom/NTB/merchants. And get a roadforce balance, and an alignment package. If the wheels are even slightly bent, the roadforce balancer will find it, and let you know. From my experience, worn tires will cause it to pull. If the guy that had the tires before you did a burn-out, and only one wheel spun, the vehicle will pull to one side afterwards. And if your tow is out the slightest bit, it will make it worse. SO my suggestion, is to get new tires, or get your's roadforced, and definitely get an alignment. I dunno which shops have a roadforce balancer, but I work at Tire Kingdom, and they all should have one.

Roadforce is just the "hop" that the tire has measured in PSI. Every tire has a high and low spot...as well as every wheel. If the tires just happen to be mounted with the high spots in the same place, the wheel will hop, and you'll get a vibration. SO the roadforce balancer measures this "hop", and tells you if the wheel/tire assembly has excessive roadforce. If the tire/wheel assembly has excessive roadforce, the balancer will check the rim to see if it is bent. And that's how you'll know if it is the wheels, or the tires.

I hope this helps out. Let me know if there are anymore questions.

Swap tires, and get an alignment. BTW 205's will fit perfectly on a 6.5" width wheel. Good luck.

I think you can get a tire shop to make flip the tires around so the outside is now on the inside. Thats what I did with my falkens.
