You're jsut tracking, it happens when you have wide wheels on a light vehicle. The tires tend to follow the grooves. You'll get used to it.

They said your wheels wouldn't fit because you lowered your car? They look like 17's to me, how would a 17 not fit in the wheel well even if it was lowered?

no just people were skeptical saying the wheels/tires i just put on weren't going to fit or atleast the front two wouldnt allow me to turn right

but i don't see a problem in putting eibach springs on now because i see that there's plenty of room

17x9,17x10.5

As long as you don't have a monstrous front tire on the rim then you will be able to turn fine. I wouldn't recommend going over 265 on the front, I don't see why you would want that wide on the front to begin with. lol
