Installing gt350 wheels on a gt pulling right

[nicolasfinta1]

I just bought a set of gt 350 wheels for my mustang gt I took it out for a spin and my car was pulling towards the right even after I got an alignment the guy who did my alignment said that the camber on my left tire was a bit off but would that really cause my car to pull right cause I didn’t have the issue with my old wheels

Are you running wider front tires? When I switched from the 255 PP1 fronts to the 295 GT350 fronts, the car started feeling like it was pulling all over the place because those wider fronts followed road imperfections a lot more.

New tires on the gt350 wheels?

There mismatched will mismatching really affect it that much

It’s only pulling to the right

Pulling under throttle or off throttle, or both?

switch the front left and right wheel and see if it pulls to the left. sometimes you can have a ‘heavy tire’

Both

Ok I’ll try this

could it because the tires are mismatched on each side? I got 2 Michelin’s on drivers side so front and rear drivers and two Ventus on passenger front and rear they have a different tread pattern

That could definitely happen. If the tires have a different diameter (due to wear or otherwise) or have differing amounts of grip (such as two different model tire) side to side it could cause that.

Differing amounts of camber side to side can also cause a pull. Anything more than a few tenths degrees a pull is possible. Also known as uneven camber thrust.

How come the pull wasn’t apparent on my 235 all around

My front left wheel was the only camber that was bad it was -1.8

Were your tires mismatched before? If not, there's your problem. Uneven camber may not induce a pull but it can in some situations.
