The wheels that came off were a 20x10 square setup of OEM style 336 E71 on 275 45 20 winter tires with an offset of 40. The style 87s are the staggered 20x9.5(ET45) in front and 20x10.5(ET30) in the rear with the stock tire sizes of 275 40 20 and 315 35 20. Has anyone had this happen before because I have not and I have swapped out several different types of wheels from 16-22s on different cars I have owned over the years. Any ideas? Good thing I purchased that lifetime alignments from firestone. I scheduled an appointment on the weekend to have the check it...

Try it on a PERFECTLY flat road (good luck finding one lol..). But seriously, look for a freshly paved road with no grooves or ruts, and you'll get a good indication. Also keep in mind tire pressure and wear.
I'm a bit anal retentive on alignment maybe, but I got myself one of those quick trick alignment tools. TOok my car for a drive, and noticed, "oh hey, i'm turning a little bit left OTR." Then drove into my garage with the steering wheel "straight." THen proceeded to hook up my laptop and monitor the SAS and force it to read "0" degrees. AFter that...made my MINUTE adjustments....like off by 2 or 3 milometers. It's actually pretty easy on the X as accessing the tie rod adjustments are seriously a sinch. I probably make one or two adjustments on the flats while checking toe. Boom...perfect.
Then took it for another drive and noticed more "straight" steering. But that's just me. :)
