I recently purchased new rims for my truck 20x10 5in backspacing -12 offset. After having them installed my steering wheel was off center and my alignment was crooked. So i put my stock rims back on and its back to normal has anyone else had any issues like this on there truck?

 

Who installed them?

 

My local Discount Tire. I told them and they suggested a feont end alignment. I just had them put the stock wheels back on today because a hub cap came loose and scratched the crap out of one of the rims. Im gonna have to tell them the stock tires fixed the alignment problem and see what they say.

 

well seeing nobody else commented im guessing its something to do with the rims i choose! I don't see how putting a offset rim would change the geometry's of the front axle.

 

Im gonna level my truck then get a front end alignment.

 

Level with springs, spacers will sit crooked with the front aligned.

To fix your current issue, set both camber bolts to 6 O'clock then you should be close. Eyeball the bolts till everything is centered. Even dealers are throwing away alignment specs and eyeballing it on 2013+ HD trucks.

Changing ANY spec on these new front ends effects not only alignment but also ride height, specifically the drag link and center link. Even something as simple as backspacing will effect it...

 

Awesome thanks for the info, i was worried about using spacers. Im glad i finally heard some info about this, I was losing hope.

 

Rough country makes new coils. That will give you 2". Which is level.

 

Thanks ill look into them.
