well it's like this, on some straight roads if i release the steering wheel the car will go strait with little tendances to go left, but if the road is a bit lower on one side the car is likes to go on left, so i need to keep the steering wheel on center very very litle od right maybe 1milimetar the most to go straigh. i'm driving with 15" bbs crosspokes with 205/50 15" rear and 195/50 15" front.
some time a go while drifting i knocked the front right side , only the wing is damaged but very very little, the line betwin the bonet and the wing is still the same on both sides... ?
car won't go straight?

also wheels balanced
when you clipped the front did the wheel hit curb etc?? it could have slightly bent the bottom arm maybe??

did this only happen after you fitted the 15s??
if it did then maybe you have a buckled/bent wheel??

the camber on the road can pull you in towards the curb aswell.
Most probably tracking though.

i hit another car recently but no visible damage was done as it was a light impact,turns out i had bent a track rod arm slightly throwing the tracking out a lot.id start there since you bumped it recently.

It might just be your wheel is benta bit.
Same happened on my car had tracking done but to no avail.
Then changed the offending wheel problem solved.
Try putting your spare on see if it helps.

fitted a new track rod arm (£26 from ECP) which took me about 45 minutes and is a straight forward job,then got the tracking set at kwik fit.the track rod arms are the weak points and are meant to bend to absorb the impact to protect the more expensive parts or so i was told.

get the car laser tracked at a tyre service place etc, a visual inspection on arms and try get a wheel rotation and balance check on each! these 4 bits keep your life on the road and not in it
