Re: Non bacon car
Bump steer is caused when your control arms don't run exactly parallel to your tie rods. The suspension travel actually will rotate your tires whenever you go over bumps and whichever tire catches first is the way the car will steer right after a bump and then it will start to wander back and forth between the two angles until your suspension has settled straight again. Only way to really fix it are to make your suspension completely horizontal (raise the vehicle) or find some way to adjust the height of your steering rack so that they are at the same angle as your lower control arms throughout the entire range of your suspension travel.
Tracking of your vehicle has a bit to do with tire width, but more often then not it has to do with the increased castor of your front struts after lowering, an increased castor will definitely lead your car to track better.Comment

Re: Non bacon car
Those tires are brutal with camber. I barely had camber on my old silver golf and the insides were smooth within a month. Would never buy Federal 595 again.Mitch

Re: Non bacon car
Got rid of the rotiforms yesterday, then went straight to pick up the new wheels. Jammed them into the audi.... times i wish i had a wagon....
Stepping down into 18's and less aggressive fitment,
Front: 19x10 et35 to 18x8.5 et42.
Rear: 19x10 et35 to 18x9.5 et40.
Will be looking at spacers to dial everything in once i get the tires on tomorrow. Black wheels were definitely not my first choice and a colour change will most likely happen in the future, but i love how these wheels look.Comment

Re: Non bacon car
The black may look ok. I'll reserve comment until I see them on. Loved how the former rims looked also.Cam

The rotiforms were a love hate. looked perfect, had awesome fitment, but they were extremely heavy, beginning to tear apart my fenders, not very comfortable because of the tiny tires. Since the tires were ruined, used it as a chance to step down to 18's.Comment

Re: Non bacon car
I like the wheels and think they will go with your look very well. Personally black wheels always look much better in person than in pictures, but that being said I want to see more pictures!!Blair
