Ok...I just put 20's with 255/35/20 on my 05 gt with stock springs. A little history of the car is that I wrecked it and broke a tie rod so I had to get it aligned afterwards. Took it to get aligned and got it back and it drives like crap. You constantly have to fight the car to stay on the road. Is this because of the bigger wheels and tires on the front or because the car is not aligned properly as the alignment shop insists it is. I am taking it back to the shop who did all the work this weekend to see what they think. I realize there is more rubber in the front now and it will change the characteristics of the drive but this is nuts. Anyone else have this problem with bigger wheels and tires?

 

My guess would be you did more damage when you wrecked it than a mere tie rod end. The tires and wheels alone will NOT casue this issue. You have damaged something else.

Make sure the wheels a balnced. I had crazy prolems the first day and it turned out to be a balance issue

 

What do you mean by fighting it? Does it just pull to one side? Is it only during braking? The bigger tires will give it the feel of it being heavy when turing. Check the balance,aligment, and like above, see if more damage was done to it.

 

My 23"s on my Tahoe go into the grove bad on highway ruts... It feels like it's pulling, it's pretty severe, but it's just the groves in the road... It could be something else wrong with the car, I'm just giving you some of my experiences... I'd take it to a reputable shop and have the entire front end checked out... I know alot of the places around me(Delaware) do free front end inspections... Good luck...
