I put 15in BBS cross spokes on my e30 touring and the steering has started to tramline and feel very un-positive.
I had 14in bottle tops B4 and the steering was spot on.
Pls help and tell me what gives??
Tracking I have had checked twice and is spot on.
The wheels have new F1 tyres.

Regards

Toughguych! :) :)

weird

I replaced 14" bottletops with 15" BBS and quality tyres and the results were very noticably better in all respects

?????????? 8O

I hope the tyres are 205/55/15?
