Alignment b4 or after new rims/tires?

The steering wheel is not centred with wheels straight ahead?

If so, could maybe be corrected with equal-but-opposite rotation of the tie rod adjustment nuts.

 

Try switching left and right wheels first. It's relatively easy, so worth a try. There's a thing called conicity that might be fixed by this action.

 

We had this on a previous vehicle, with tires about half-worn. I'm not sure of the root cause, just that it's a wear condition called "conicity" (google for more explanation). Swapping the wheels side-to-side can kinda fix it. Eventually the tires wear to where they're replaced, and maybe time to switch brands, I'm not sure though.

 

Alignment for sure.

You're caster is off, you need an alignment. Best to do with new tires.

 

Trade. You won't have to worry about EGR, manifold and sudden inverter death anymore.

 

Geesh: @Higgins909 says he swapped the fronts and thinks it's cured; maybe it is?

 

If the car pulls, or drifts to one side, say right, and you switch the front tires and it now pulls left,
it means you drove that way long enough that the tires are unevenly worn, because of the caster being out of alignment.

If it still pulls right, it just means you have not driven it long enough that the tires have worn yet.
Either way, you need an alignment. Maybe even have some worn bushing.

You should check, or have the bushing, and suspension parts checked for wear, and replaced if needed.
Then have an alignment.
