Alignment with upgrade to 20's on a 2011 GT?
I knew the ride would be a bit different going from the stock 18's to the 20's but I have noticed a slight pull to the left.
I do need to install an adjustable panhard bar as the left rear wheel is out about 3/8ths an inch further than the right. Could that be the issue?
If I need an alignment should I wait till after I get the panhard bar in?
Also I have noticed now that I have 265's up front and 295s in the back the car loves to follow any low spots in the road. She moves around a bit more
But I love the new rims regardless.
Thanks,
Griff

Yes add the panhard bar first because the front wheels will get aligned to the thrust angle of the rear. To minimize the "hunting" on road surfaces you could try to compensate in the alignment specs setting the toe one tenth "0.10" IN for every step wider the tire is. So if you go from a 235 width to a 265 then set the toe 0.30 degrees IN over stock specs.

Yeah my original plan was 255s also but I already had theseso gonna go with them for now. But they are General Exclaims and I get can 255/35 20s for 120 bucks a piece so I may get them anyways.
