Well I took off my front set and put the stockers on and my car doesn't pull and it drives a hell of a lot nicer. So I'm wondering if maybe it's the tires being cheap? (Fuzion ZRi) Also when I had my alignment done, I had it done with the stock rims on because they said that they didn't want to scratch my chrome because of the clamps they use. Is there an alternative to this so I can get an alignment done with the fr500s on?

Also I was wondering if anyone knows if they make 17x7 (not 9) fr500s in case the rest of this doesnt fix it....

Thanks.

(In case some of you saw my FS thread, I'm all over the place and now I think I'm keeping it...lol @ myself).

 

Lol, out-dated alignment machines... they are using ones that can't grip the outside of the wheels... your alternative is to go somewhere else with newer machines, although it really doesnt matter, the alignment hardly takes the wheels into consideration, its more about the spindles. (edit: ie you can put your fr's back on without any change)
And no, I dont believe they make anything in 7... stockers are x8, most aftermarket are x9... I am sure it was those crappy fuzion tires you were using. Not that I am rolling on p-zero's or anything, I have mastercraft avenger HP's in 245/45/17... what size ZRi's were they on your 17x9s?

 

i have 275/40/17

looking at my receipt from when i bought them, it says i bought lifetime new tire wheel bal parts/labor and lifetime rubber valve. so hopefully they can do something for me.

 

Funny...i have the same problem. the alighnment device they have uses lazers and they cant align my rims because there is no lip on them.

Also do not run 275's on the front...i am right now and the inside wall rubbs alot. you should check it. im going to put 255's on the front i think.

 

its not the alignment thats your problem, its those wide tires. Your alignment settings wont change with the FR500's on. Told you before its because theres so much rubber on the road that it catches all the imperfections on the road surface.

 

this thread is old...and mine dont rub
