Did anyone here change the stock wheels to 17" before? My GXE have stock 15" and I just changed it to a 17" with tire size of 253/45R17 and I realized that when I full lock my steering to the left and go, I heard the sound of my tires hitting some plastic... but when I try doing the same thing by going right, there is no sound. Do you guys have any solutions to that?

 

what offset rims did you get? this sounds like you got the incorrect or slightly incorrect offset.

The stock 17x7 wheel has a +42mm offset. If the offset is too much like say +52 then you might be getting that rubbing happening in the wheel well.

 

my offset is only +42mm.... thats why I find it wierd.. and also I only get rubbing when I full lock to the left and I do not get rubbing when I full lock on the right. Thats why i am lost.

 

Wow, 253?? Isn't that kinda wide??

 

probably supposed to be 255

 

oops typo its 235/45/17 and my offset is 40mm

 

Only thing I can say is that the Steering lock on the left is broken

 

hmmm since my car only have 7000 miles it should be under warrranty repair right?

 

hmmm I am leaving town next tuesday and do you siggest i get that fixed before I leave or after I come back? How long do they usually take to fix steering lock?

 

Yeap everything is covered till 36000 miles for sure
