So as previously posted, I snagged myself a new set of rims.. However my front left is not sitting as flush as the others.. Any ideas?

Might be a stupid question, but are all of the offsets the same?

There was a pretty strong left pull when first installed but tire pressure difference in the front was about 5psi, equal now and only a slight left pull.

I'll bet my left nut on camber being out on one corner. Happened to me when I put new rims on... front driver's side rim was poking 1cm outside of the guard at the top. Got it realigned by someone who knew what they were doing.

If you haven't had the camber adjusted during an alignment, then, I got nuthin'...

No camber.... Taken the wheel off and refitted twice now. Similar though, however probably less that 1cm difference. Just picky and would like them all to be flush. Doesn't seem to be touching anything either...

You need a decent wheel alignment...John Fowler Autosport...
When running +40 offset on a WRX, it doesn't take much to be out of whack to make it pull to one side. Cambers, castors and toe need to be spot on...

The guy at a large aus suspension manufacturer told me "every" wrx has a slight left hand steering bias due to some bushing oddness. Noticeable during hard acceleration.
His version of an alk corrected this apparently.
The 2 wrxs I've driven definitely have it. In the G3 it was a fair distraction under wot.
Would like a 3rd party.. Err internet opinion for sure.

Yea that's what I've heard as well. Also due to sharp breaking, if the car is forced to break harshly all of a sudden it should veer to the left instead of staying straight.
