Boost Alloys
Could anyone tell me if Boost Alloys are all standard or if there are any different varieties. I.e. different offsets.

The reason I ask is that my Puma pulls to the left, but only when fitted with a set of boost alloys that I bought off a 2005 Defender. These are fitted with general grabber 235/85R/16.

When I fit BF Goodrich 235/85R/16 KM2s on the original rims the car drives straight.

This is a bit of a puzzle, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

are the boosts and grabbers balanced? as far as I am aware boosts are boosts, there are no offset variants.

Yes, I've swopped them front and back, also side to side but it's the same.

Does it pull under braking or ordinary running?

Also, it might sound silly, but perhaps your original rims pulled slightly to the right, which was offset by uneven braking/steering?

Are they genuine LR one's? That may make a difference. Bit of a guess but if the only difference between it pulling to one side and not pulling is when you put the different rims on...? Are the AT tyres in good condition? Not distorted or anything?
