Car veering

Car veering
Hello all. I purchased my 06 B7 about a month ago and I recently purchased used 18' RS4 rep rims with spacers. As soon as i put the rims on the car i noticed that the car was veering to the right, I assumed the car just needed an alignment so I took it into crosby and did that. But as soon as i left i noticed that it was still veering. So im not really sure what it could be, any advise would be appreciated!
oh and the tires on the rims were still ok so i didnt get new ones...

Re: Car veering
it could be the tires that the tread has shifted...but have you ever had larger rims before?
not to sound condescending, but with our roads here in kitchener/waterloo, your tires are going to get caught in grooves a lot and go pretty much where ever they send you. You just don't have the tire depth any more to sway back and forth.
PS. welcome to the forum, you should come out to the waterloo meets.

Re: Car veering
Lol your not being condescending at all, the answer to that question is no ive never had larger rims. And i took that into consideration before i got my car aligned but it was just pulling too much and only to the right. But i will look into buying new tires and hopefully that will do the trick.
Thank you for the input and any other suggestions would be appreciated!
Also i would love to come to a waterloo meet as this is my first audi and im sure many of you can pass on some very knowledgeable info. Let me know when your meeting next and where and i will hopefully be able to drop by.

Re: Car veering
check to see if the tires are all even. Same brand, same thread design, same thread wear. The quattro system is very bitchy about everything being even. Had that happened to me before when i first got my car with 2 different brands of tires. Car just can't drive straight, switched to new tires and everything was fine again.
