Default Steering wheel pulling more than usual? Quick question, need help!

I just installed some 17x7.5 Rota Sub zero's with 45 series tires.

I used the little weenie jack to raise the car, and put the Rota's on the correct way (I.E., hand tightening the bolts in a star pattern until snug, and then tightening with the lug wrench). All went well and they sit on fine.

The only thing is the steering wheels seems to pull a lot more. Now I realize 17" wheels can do this to a car (my old GTI did this when I put 17's on it), it just seems to be pulling more...

Am I crazy or is there something wrong? I think maybe I am just not used to them or something...

Thanks!

Lower profile tire = stiffer sidewall = "tracking" on the road. I'm enjoying the same feeling myself now that the summer tires are back on .

You can't compare the GTI and WRX. Each car is different. Mine also pulls on truck ruts, slope off on the street and probably at full moon.

My BMW 328i is worse actually.
