i had a quick question, i just recently pruchased some new wheels and was wondering if i would need a wheel alignment after i get them installd? and where should i go? the dealer (everything is expensive there) or where?

-thx-

I have never aligned my cars if only swapping wheels. I only do it with swapping suspension components....

alright thanks, just checking, want to be safe

If you change wheel size in any way, it's just like moving your suspension around (just like getting new parts). Thus justifying an alignment. It's just like when you get new tires. More fresh tread does throw off your alignment too.

hmm... so your saying i should get a wheel alignment?

kurt_bradley

Yes. Exactly. Conserve your tires.

hmmm..... stupid question, but how much is a wheel alignment gonna cost me?

Anywhere between $60 ~ $80.
