What can happen if the wheels are too wide for the car?

Just got new wheels and noticed that when braking or going over bumps, the teering wheel tends to lean a little more to the right than usual. Could it be that the wheels are not the right size for the car, or are just too wide? The car is driveable, but could this cause other serious problems later?

Best answer:
There is more tire on the road so the road slope effects how to tire rides--it magnifies the condition. Also the outer wheel bearing tend to wear faster/harder the wider the wheel/tire is on the axle. You're moving the stress on the bearing farther out, so the stress increases. Also thrown rocks a debris tend to hit the painted side of your vehicle more since the tire stick out past the protective wheel well of the body. But other than that--new wheels and tires on a vehicle are a cool touch! Any modification made has impact on whatever is modified. It was engineered and designed to certain specs, and when those specs are changed things wear out or break. It could cause problems, but then again, they may not be severe or serious ones.

Answer 2
did you get new tires or new rims? did you get them balanced and alligned? that might be all that it needs.if they were too wide i think you would be able to feel rubbing or something it when you turn.take it in to your local tire shop and see whats up.

Answer 3
Sounds like an offset problem. The car's steering is designed for the centerline of the tires to be a certain distance apart (the track). Wider or narrower tires are fine, but don't change the track. A lot of times, people will put on aftermarket wheels with a different offset. So the center of the tires is (typically) farther apart than factory. They've given the car a wider track. The steering and suspension aren't designed for that, so it handles wrong.
