I had a set of TSW Bathurst wheels fitted. They are the same size wheels but the offset means they now sit at the lip of the wheel arches. Look fantastic. But. The handling has been transformed -for the worse. The car "Tram Tracks" and feels half the weight at the steerig wheel. You now have to monitor the direction and actively correct it. I rang the dealer who put me on to the people who fitted them (Competition Tyres Murrumbeena). They say "well you didn't lower the car" claiming that the due to the change in offset, the car needs to be lowered to bring back the factory geometry. Apparantly everyone who fits these wheels always gets the lowered Roush springs installed.
I dont want a lowered car, and it sounds like baloney to me. Anyone else had this problem and if so how did you overcome it? Im thinking of going down to Pedders Dandenong the guy there has been doing suspensions since the 60's, to see if they can work out a new set of alignment specs. Curious to hear anyone elses experience with the front end
