New Wheel, Alignment?
 
Quick question.

I am changing wheels from Stock wheels to XXR 527.

The specs are 17x8.25, 35 offset.

Because it is the same wheel size as stock, but just wider and a bit less offset, would I need an alignment?

No.

Curious about this myself..

Alignment is only needed when you change your suspension setup or modify the settings right? So if I changed the height of coilovers, I'd need to get em aligned?

OP, no alignment is needed. However, are you getting new tires? Or how long have you had the car? It might be a good idea to get an alignment, to make sure everything is all good.

But new wheels/tires will not necessitate an alignment.
@PandaSPUR Correct-need an alignment if you adjust height. Even removing/reinstalling the suspension(without adjusting settings) its still a good idea for an alignment though, since its very possible things won't got back exactly the way it was.

Same tires, just on new wheels.
I just had an alignment done 2 months ago.
Thanks shutter!
