Wheel size question

[tcoradeschi]

Something is very odd here, as your car started life with 7x17 wheels front and 8.5x17 wheels rear. So, what size is actually on the car? Given the tires you are running, it seems like the latter.

As far as what you are seeing, at some point, you give it to a pro and pay for diagnosis. I think you’re at that point.

I’ll agree.

I have 18” carrea wheels on mine. Different width front and rear and different ET. Should be the same on 17”.

I would check the part numbers on the wheels. They should be different front and rear. Also check that the tires are correct for the wheels.
