Default Loose Steering?????!!! HELP

I recently upgraded to 20x8.5 20x10 fr500 extreems on my 2007 4.0 vert...

i notice there is play in my steering wheel ALLOT more than before.

I know this is due to my rims, and im looking for handling mods and such to stiffen it.

i have a 04 330xi and obv nothing handles like a bmw but the steering wheel is stiff and tight steering..

WHAT CAN I DO TO MY CAR THAT WILL STIFFEN MY STEERING...NO SO MUCH THE SUSPENSION...BUT THE STEERING...THE RIDE QUALITY IS FINE AND IN HUGS THE ROAD NICELY WITH THE 20X10 IN THE REAR BUT I JUST DONT LIKE HOW THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS........

HELP!!!!?????

what do you mean by tracking the road......it seem that the wheel is moving slightly when driving higher speed....and also there is play in the steering wheel
