Bad alignment? Hard right turns? VSA help!
Hey everyone,
I recently had new wheels put on my car and new rear tires (fronts are used) and after my alignment my car was pulling to the right and I have to hold my steering wheel slightly left to go straight. I called the garage that did my alignment and they re-did it, only to find out that it's still exactly the same, pulls right, I have to hold the steering wheel left to keep it straight. Also, when I take right turns my VSA kicks in very easily, I don't even take them hard and it goes on and brakes my car. When I take left turns harder, no VSA. Is this something I should take my car to the dealer about?! I have no idea what to do and have never experienced this before. There also seems to be more resistance when I turn the wheel right than left.
Thanks for any input you all may have!

Thanks guys, I will post my alignment specs when I get home tonight. The rear tires are both new, the fronts are both used with equal tread wear. I put the same size tires on the rears as the previous owner but I think they might be a bit too wide at 255/40/17 when recommended is 245/40/17. Not sure if it matters but I have 17x7.5 fronts and 17x8.5 rears BBS RGR's, not sure about exact offsets, but it is s2k fitment.
I also noticed that my VSA is kicking in on left turns too. Almost every time I'm getting off a highway or on a highway interchange and there is a turn/curve (even mild ones) without driving anywhere near an aggressive speed for the turn my stupid VSA starts going nuts. Garrr!
