That's not torque steer that you are experiencing. That is crappy front traction combined with high torque at low rpm. Torque steer is a result of unequal length half-shafts which will pull the steering wheel to one side under acceleration. The best example of this is probably a mid-80's FWD Cadillac.

As such when someone changes wheels they shouldn't 'notice' torque steer.
