i got a question relating to this...

say you are going to lower your ride at a certain time, and then later down the line get bigger rims. Do you have to get an alignment done both times?? I'm assuming yes?

I would say yes since the rim size is different... it better off to get it done, and be sure cuz if not then be ready for pre-mature on ur tires

Your assumption is correct.

Alignment is required only if the ride height has been altered. Otherwise, if going for plus 1 or plus 2, the ride height remains the same, there is no valid reason to have an alignment.
