I have 2005 S60. Originally was aligned with 15" tires on it. Now after putting on Factory 17" R wheels ( and wider tires) the car will not drive rutted roads worth a damn. It wants to walk in and out of ruts. Will the alignment be off with the different rims? Nothing is loose under car. Drives fine on normal non-rutted roads. Advise please.

Still have the Rosso tires on? Ive noticed with the Nero tires that it doesnt track in the ruts as bad. But it is normal with lower aspect ratio tires.

I filled my strut bar bushings with 5 min epoxy. Totally cured my tracking problem. Whoooooohooooo!

I also found that after I changed my upper engine mount bushing that my steering was firmer and the last little bit of tracking problem dissappeared. Installed poly bushing from IPD, took 30 minutes.
