Not to throw a monkey wrench in your comments, but I've noticed the car pulling to the right ever since I put wheels on it. I think it could have something to do with the tires. Im running 265/30/22 in the front and 295 25's in the rear. No suspension mods.

what do you think could be the issue. the car always pulled to the right even when it was stock. I was going to take it back to get an alignment but i figured I was going to lower it and slap some rims on anyways.

I didn't notice mine pulling to the right when it was stock. It was only stock for a few days in my hands though. I was just figuring the car wasnt made to have such wide tires on it, and dealt with it. I dunno. If this is a wide spread problem then I have to be wrong.

I'll play with the alignment settings to see if there's something we could do.

You guys ever heard about rear camber adjustments? I heard theres a OEM part that allows you to do so. Please let me know!

For me its always as soon as I drop my cars they pull to the right. I also get that extremely slight decentration of the steering wheel

I have found that all of the car I have driven pull to the right if you really pay attention. I think its because we sit on the left side of the car. This added weight causes a sag on that side of the car and the wheel will turn slightly to the right. Kind of like driving with a donut on the car but nowhere near as extreme

DAMN!!! really?!? I was not aware this beast took that much oil. Now I guess the 150 dollar service with oil seems a little more worth it
