Car Sways With New Wheels? Help Please

Hey guys i lowered my car with the H&R's and the drive was fine with the oem 18s. Just need to get an allignment. Then i swapped my buddys 20x8.5 MSR 093 wheels with a +24 offset all around onto my car. When i would drive on the freeway and make quick motions it felt like the wheels were going to seperate from the car. Ended up that the Hub size on the wheels was 82 and the g35 is 66.1 so i got some hub rings and that fixed it for the most part. But still on uneven ground the car will drift away with the road. It never did that with the oem 18's. Any suggestions on what it may be? Im going to get an alignment and rebalance the wheels to see if that helps but not sure what else it could be.

If by "drifting away with the road" you mean that tue car follows the lines/grooves of the road (meant for traction), then that's "tramlining" and that's attributable to the tires.

Since the hubcentric rings got past you the first time, I'm gonna suggest you make sure your lugnuts are the correct type for the wheels you're using. Other than that and as mentioned above, tramlining is a distinct possibility.
