Good news is if all checks out, just unbolt the steering wheel and center. Had to do it after adding power steering. Good luck.
I tried doing exactly what you did after installing PS however the splines on the shaft would not allowing me to center it. It was either one hour to the left of one hour to the right. I had to disconnect the shaft all together and realign the wheel. Still off some. #$#%^&*

delfalte them and dont worry about the steering wheel, like others said once you change tire size the steering wheel will be off center. If it bothers you then unbolt it and put it back on straight.
good to know although it seems weird that it would be off center after a wheel change. I'm going to check the toe in/out on Wednesday and maybe that is off as well. At least the steering wheel is an easy fix

Same here, had to play with upper shaft splines and steering wheel splines more than once. But no regrets doing the PS.

Ok all, thanks for all the help. Toe in was at about 1/2”. So I adjusted that to 3/16” and tires are at 9psi all around. Will test ride and adjust steering wheel if needed. Thank you all!

Thank God it pulls to the right. If it pulled to the left you‘d either have to give it to Monty or put it out of our misery...
