Get some eibachs but it'll tram line more so on roads with camber.

Oh well at least the wheels have coincided with a slight drop in the price of diesel so you can quit whining about mpg

I understand being pee'd off about your steering, but cant believe you could be over 3 MPG

Remap will get that back tho David

Mine pulls slightly to the left, even after having it checked. Quite annnoying really.

Looks good though Pow Just needs to be a bit lower.

The pulling is probably whats called tramlining.

Bigger wheels tend to follow the ruts in the road more.

As for the MPG it may not be accurante now your speedo will read different on bigger wheels so your numbers will be wrong when you (or your trip comp) does the maths.
