strange feeling after swapping alloys

[Welsh_Andy]

this is strange,swapped my miglia for some 18's and £250. but since i have had them on it seems to have corrected a long standing prob i have had. when i had the miglias on it was pulling to N/S constantly. could never figure out what was the prob. but since these aez's have gone on the prob has gone away.
any ideas why

tyres are the same 215/35/18

the only thing that has changed was the offset these ones are 38 compared to ET40 for the miglias..

surely a small offset change would make it worse than better?

leaning on steering wheel be fooked:icon_mrgr,lol

yeah tis gd now,although need track rod end,so may as well do both meaning they only 20 plus vat from vox. :woohoo:

I put some 2nd hand 15"s on mine whilst sorting my 19"s and I had the same problem. Pulled severely to one side. Seemed as though the tracking need correcting. As the tracking was OK with my 18"s I decided to leave it and when I fitted the 19"s all was OK again.

Was more then likely unevenly worn tyres.

funny thing is my m8 now has the same prob as i had. he says its all over the place,lol i knows what he means its a terrible drive. could the wheel have a prob and what sort of wheel prob would cause this
