Is there something wrong with my suspension?

hey guys, need ur help...

something strange is happening when i try to make little quick movements with my car...like ummm...dodging a pot hole or something...its kinda hard to explain it, but it seems like the whole car would swerve even after the steering wheel was steered straight again after a quick turning of the wheel...it felt like driving with 1 flat tire in the back, cuz i have had that experience before. But the thing is that all 4 of my tires are pumped with the same psi...40 psi when i left the tire shop...so i released some air and made them 35 psi

is it because of the tire size that i am using?
back then, i was using 40 series and everything was cool. And right now, i am using 45 series.

could it be my suspension (Megan S13 Track series coilover damper ~4 months old)? i have never gone to tracks or abuse the coilovers...normal daily driving only...and theres no sign of leak on the coilovers.

alignment problem? cuz i have not done any alignment yet after installing the suspensions.

could it be one of my rims? cuz the person at the tire shop told me that one of my front rims was slightly bent...

any ideas?
i would really appreciate ur help.

Get an alignment. Replace your messed up wheel. Check your ball joints in your LCAs.

have you gotten into any minor accidents lately? could be a tie rod, control arm or maybe even a tension rod
doesnt sound like a rim or tire issue...
