Car feels slanted after changing wheels

Post by Matte6r »

Just changed my 14" steels to some 17" alloys and can't help but think it's slanted to the passenger side slightly. I've measured but both sides are roughly the same.

Is there anything I could have done wrong that would cause this?

Unlikely, but are you sure they are all 17". Have you driven the car - suspension may need to settle after jacking?

I think this is most likely. Move it around a little to see if it sits properly then
