Today I went back to the shop that I bought the rim from, he retested the rim and it was fine. He then showed me how i could measure the distance from the edge of the tire to the wheel well with my hand and when doing so, the tire on the side that i hit is a bit closer to the wheel well than on the other side of the car. He then was like yeah you most likely bent one of the support arms. Well this leads me to think about what EZ said above. I bought a brand new tire and put it on the new rim, well the old tire was fairly new, had maybe 15000 miles on it. That being so, wouldnt the new tire sit slightly closer to the wheel well than the tire with about 15000 miles on it anyway? So, all being said i guess i am just going to get the alignment checked. Thanks for your help. And I hope this doesnt end up costing me a fortune.
