I'm having a weird handling problem. I need help asap!

Traded my 15" wheels with 195/50/ tires for 16" wheels with 215/45 Falken Azenis RT-615 tires.

I had to raise the front up 2". Pulled the camber in to keep the tires from rubbing the fenders. I have not raised the back yet.

Took the car out to test how it rode and it's like the steering wheel is loose, the car wants to pull from left to right!

Ran through everything again checked and double checked for anything loose, could not find a thing. The tie rods are brand new on both sides (inner and outer). The car drove perfectly with the 15" wheels.

Can someone please tell me what's wrong?

 

does toe need to be changed if camber changes?

 

Yes you'll need an alignment to correct your toe, wether you changed your ride height or your camber, your settings will be off. I recently had my car aligned, and decided shortly after that I wanted to do some suspension upgrades, DOH (stupid track made me realize my sh*t wasn't up to par)...I'm gonna hold of untill I can source ALL the parts I want to change so I don't need a $70 alignment everytime I do something minor...

 

going to go get an allignment now, if anyone has any other suggestions please let me know!

 

what will the be the effects of toe out and -camber?

 

Toe out will make the car very twitchy. It won't want to go straight, and will respond to slight wheel input.

 

So did you get your alignment done? That's a cool avatar BTW

 

Even after you get a alignment, your car will still react differently while going thru corners.

 

yup got it done today. I set the camber to where it was with the old wheels before I went, car drove 100% better, just like before. I guess I gave it too much negative camber.

The toe was out, the allignment fixed that. Car drives great now. Thanks for the advice everyone!
