New rims
I just bought these rims
The are 17" TSW Trophy wheels with 205/40ZR-17 Toyo Proxes FZ4 tires they sell for $1200 with the tires and I got them for $450 and the tires have 90% tread. anyways my question is...
After I put the rims on I noticed a huge handling differance. I used to have 215/60/15 tires on the old stock rims. I know its prob because these are 40 offset but I don't know **** about that so does someone want to explain that to me? And how can I make it handle like it used to, or can I? Also do I have to go get the car realigned since I put new rims on?
Thx guys

The car handles poorly now?? 40 offset just means that the wheels will sit a little more closer to your car (unlike negative offset rims which will stick out). Those are very nice rims. nice price too

40ET or 40MM is the standard FC offset.
The depending on your orginial tires, the new ones should be night and day better handling and control with those tires (but they will be a touch slower)
