Alignment Questions

Former_Boosted_IS · 05-12-2008, 05:07 AM

Just a quick question. I have 19's with 275x30 on rear adn 235x40 on the front. The rotational diameter is about 1% different from stock. I thought since they are almost identical that an alignment is not needed since I have only 4000 miles on the car. Any suggestions?

a car could only have 1k miles, and could have been curbed or rocked a nasty pothole, and could need alignment.

i dont think changing wheels would affect it if it were OK before hand though.

you don't need an alignment just for a wheel change. UNLESS you aligned your car with unevenly worn tires and you changed to brand new tires AFTER. I highly doubt you did that though

you're fine man
