I was wondering what offset you used on the new wheels?

I don't know the exact numbers but my aftermarket wheels are about 10mm farther out than the stock ones. It increased the torque steer wander a lot so I'm not entirely thrilled.

On the 5th gen your turning radius sucks anyway! It's the worse of any car I've driven so far! The turning radius on the 4th gen is fine with aftermarket wheels, at least the Konig Monsoons that I have. I used them on my 4th and the current 5th gen that I have. Not sure what offset they are because the guy at the shop where I ordered knew exactly what to get. This was before I knew anything about offsets (knowledge wise).

It's a 5th gen, but torque steer has nothing to do with turning radius - which I agree sucks. The problem is that the car pulls hard one way or the other when accelerating in low gears on uneven pavement (about all we have here on Long Island). The additional outset of the aftermarket wheels made the problem worse. I also expect an automatic would have less trouble with this.
