Ok I have tried figuring this out using guides but cant seem to get it right. I found a set of 15x8 gottis with 5x144.3 -13 et. I was thinking of filling and re-drilling or running adapters. Would it even be possible to run adapters? Btw this is on an early body car with rolled and pulled arches

I got this setup (as below in the quote).
I noticed a bad handling characteristics. Basically when I'm breaking hard from high speeds, the car is wandering, quite abruptly, therefore constant steering input is required while breaking to keep it straight. It just doesn't feel very safe or nice TBH.
I suspect this is because front wheels centerline is now ~20mm outside (as opposed to stock bottlecaps), and because these tires have much more grip when breaking, I suspect this exerts significantly larger forces on the control arm bushing (I use urethane bushes), and in effect front wheel geometry is forced into toe-out situation under heavy breaking causing the described characteristics ?
Could anybody comment on my theory ? or perhaps confirm that with similar setup are getting similar behavior ? any other theories or perhaps hints on what to try to fix this issue ? I was thinking maybe solid buschings - not 100% solid but on which the movement is very restricted ?
Thanks,
Mops.
