anyone have a problem drivin after puttin bigger wheels on their car? i bought a set of c6 wheels they are 18s up front and 19s on the back. and when i put them on i had to two hand the steering wheel and i still had alotta trouble keeping it in my lane.. it rips the wheel all over the place to every dip or un even spot in the road. it was so bad that i had to put the 16s back on the front just to drive it again.. any ideas would be great..

also i know its not just my car cause i put them on my 3rd gen car too and it does the same thing.

If the common part is the wheels and tires. It's either the wheels have 2 different offsets for some reason or it's a tire separation

I had the same problem going from 16's to 17's. Car was recently aligned and tires brand spankin' new and checked out fine at two different tire shops.

the added width combined with the lower profile made mine do the exact same thing - pull all over the road, follow every little grove, and forced me to start driving with two hands
