pulling to the left

hey guys my car was running perfectly fine with the stock wheels (16s with 245s). i put my 17x9.5 ZR1s with 275s on and the car has been pulling to the left ever since. well let me rephrase... when im rolling down the street its almost perfect... when i go to stop it pulls to the left... and if i hit a bump in the road it pulls like crazy... and if its already pullin... the bump may make it start pullin to the right. front end need an alignment or what? just wanna know before i spend money. think its related to the wheel swap? i got the wheels balanced... and all 4 are where they are s'posed to be based on the tread... help me out. thanks

That's brake pull. Check your rotors. It could be the tires but I'm thinking brakes.

Ok sorry I thought you were talking about the 3rd gen. As far as it pulling Im with Lyle and check the brakes to make sure everything is ok, and might even put some new pads on there.

check your tire pressure too make shure its the same as whats on the DS door I think my 17's are like 32 lbs. Ive also had a bad tire befor so swap your front to your rear and see if that changes anything.
