Default 20in rims steering problem?

Put a set of Akuza 20in rims on my 2001 silverado, Since i put them on i cant turn the front wheels when the truck is in park or when im at a stop, its like i lost my power steering the only way i can turn them is if i roll the truck.Has this happend to anyone else?? any help would be great.I had the power steering pump changed,still the same.

Maybe the alignment is off? That's a weird one...

did the same thing when i had my 20's everyone told me it was b/c of the wider wheel and tire setup. power steering pump just wasn't strong enough.

Make sure the air pressure is correct. If it is too low, it will feel hard to turn.
