Torque Steer...

[ITRnarcotic]

ever since I put new rims on the front I have a shit load of Torque steer. The tires are 205/45 and the rims are 16"... on my meshies, 15" with 195/50s, I only felt it when i punched it. Now I feel it whenever I give it any gas. Anyone know what that could be? Or how to fix it?

An incorrect offset can cause lots of torque steer

interesting...i just upgraded to 205/45/16 and noticed it a hair as well. really only in first gear though...but then again i never really punched it in first with my blades on the car.

Ok, nevermind me. I didn't realize you said it was on meshies :smackself:

lol.. no the torque steer was not on the meshies. I never really had it on the meshies. My friend said its probably because of the rims and tires... They might be alot stiffer and has no give like the meshies might... Im not sure so i just wanted to ask you all.

Do you know what the offset of those rims are?

im not sure on the offsize but its pretty big...

Take the wheel off and look on the inside it should tell you the bolt pattern and the offset plus some show the manufacturer.
