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? |

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. |
