    Strange looking alignmeny

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys so I recently got new wheels (17x8 ET33) for my lowered B5 and for some reason the rear alignment looks very strange. It looks like the rear right wheel is pointing in (toe in?) much more than the rear left. I recently got an alignment and the car drives straight and I checked the wheel is on the hub properly. Do I need another alignment just for getting new wheels? Kinda lost... TIA for any advice on why this is happening and how to fix

    New wheels won't require an alignment. How recent was the last one?

    I had problems on a 20yo rack, took it to a shop with a new rack and no problems.

    Last alignment was about 2 months ago.

    Are you referring to the steering rack? If so its only the rear wheels that are affected. Unless it's something Quattro related, mine is FWD
