guys i have now put on azev 17s (7j) all the way around. i had alpinas staggered on before

the steering is not pulling at all as i had the tracking done not long ago. the issue is the steering is moving side to side alot only slightly but can feel it.

the wheels where balanced but they were balanced before the air was topped up

With no spigot rings fitted it is always going to wobble about, it is also unsafe IMO.
