Question: Lowered on Wheels
My 330 is lowered on H&R coilovers and running 19X8.5 wheels on 235/35/19 tires.
Every time I go over a rut on the roads, car pulls hard to one side, kind of like an unexpected jerk. I am use to it now. I know which lanes to avoid etc.
Is this normal?

Sounds like you're tracking because your tires are wider. It's quite normal.

Very normal with aftermarket wheels & tires.

Alignment (toe) specs? Are the front tires worn?
Most likely extra bump-steer from being lowered and having lower offset wheels.

Not sure what the alignment specs are. Front tires are at about 45-50%. Wheel offset is +35mm.
Thanks Rob.
Come to think about it, I don't remember having any issues until I got my coilovers installed.
Good to know everything is OK.
My GF is too scared to drive the car now. haha

Has nothing to do with weight.

Stiff sidewalls will also cause this. Normal.

Lower profile tires and a stiff suspension definitely increase 'tracking" on rutted or rough roads. The flex in the sidewall of the tire and the stiff suspension do not absorb the abnormalities in the road as much as a stock set-up, so it ends up tugging on the entire vehicle more.
As pointed out, this combined with a less than perfect alignment can definitely magnify the issue.
