do you have an LSD wolfie? getting your corner weights setup will help, but those 13's are not going to help either, you have 13x7 deep dish don't you, if you want to stick ith 13's try the 13x6's there a much smaller offset, and muhc better On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

I'd agree with Jim, the wide offset wheels on your car looked great yesterday but can't have been helping the torque steer situation!

look at the suspension set up, then if that fails try fitting some mutro steering arms, they are longer and make the steering lighter but you loose alot of lock....

I can honestly say that we have never had a problem with torque steer in the TT. That runs on 7x13s.

Different people have different opinions. I personally like 12's, but you can't buy slicks for them (in the right compound) so I went for 13s. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph
