12x5. Also if you turn the wheel right when turning it feels like it's diving to the right witout effort to turn wheel. Would a shrunk suspension cone Cause this

Did you check for play in the ball joints/track rod ends/wheel bearings/radius arm bushes/steering rack ?

Did you only do the rears ?
What rate springs did you go for ?
You may have upset the sprung balance of the car !!
