Default Is this normal?

I just installed some17x9 17x11 wheels a few weekends ago. Ive noticed that I feel much more of the road, and sometimes it feels like the car is all over the road when the road isnt perfectly flat. Its almost as if any imperfection on the road surface just makes the tires go crazy...

Just curious if this is normal. Oh and I have 315;s in the rear

Welcome to the wonderful world of wide tires. Bad roads make the sensation that much worse. I live in Michigan and the roads here SUCK. Sometimes I swear my car is all bent up the way it wanders. If I get on a good smooth highway all is forgotten.
