Hey guys

Just put some random wheels on ek but after i swaped the new wheels on i realised the steering wheel has become unaligned when its in the middle it bends to the right i have to keep it a little left to keep straight. Also above 50km the steering wheels vibrates and gets worse as i go faster. I was thinking wheel alignment or bad lugs nuts was the problem and planning to give that a go first but someone may have the answer.

Thanks in advance

Balance wheels
Are the tyres all the same tread pattern?

Are the wheels PCD diameter suited to fit your hubs? did u use any hub centric rings?

like these?

shouldnt need hubcentric ring.

rims will centre when you torque nuts up.

Tire pressures.
Balance the wheels

Trism is right, no need for hub rings. Wheels center when done up.

Well turned out to be a bad tire which had a puncture losing pressure and i did a wheel balance as well which fixed it
Just need a wheel alignment now

Make sure you get a 4-wheel, not a 2-wheel.
