i also get some steering kickback when on rough roads.......can the tire size cause this too?

a 7.5 wide rim is a bit wide IMO....hence when u have weight in the back,the rear fender lips may touch on the outer edge of the tyre.....

the offset seems ok

is the car lowered?

the car is stock height........i notice that the walls of the tire laps over the rim.....another guy in work has a different brand but his tire walls are straight.

rims on my wingroad wrap with 215 35 18 tires and nothing is touching. even picked up some family in the airport with all their luggage and had no problem.

i suggest 215 wide tires or less.
