I am getting my 19's on Monday and I want to take my car for an alignment right away. Does anyone have numbers that I can give the dealer or should they know the best settings?

 

Doesn't matter if its the Ac dealer or a Honda/Acura shop, the BETTER know the numbers!!!!!!!!! If they don't, why would you let them align your car?????? What else do they not know??? Do they know to put your lug nuts back on when they are done??? HMMMMM????

 

you should have the alignment done before you put your 19s on, to avoid damagine them.

 

The dealer should know. I don't think the numbers should be any different from stock. I'm no expert, but I think this is correct. Show some pics when you are done.

No more "Mustang Killa" with 19's.

 

I don’t know what your RIMS look like, but make sure the shop sees them before you agree to the alignment there.

When Jens did mine at Park Ave, he had to mount the FOUR alignment devices on the INSIDE of the wheel lip because the “jaws” didn’t open wide enough for my 18’s.
He put masking tape all over the inside edges to protect the chrome.

Good luck and I look forward to seeing the pics.

Thanks guys, I will go ahead and have the align the car before I put my rims on. Will be posting pics soon!

 

Can somebody fill me in what kind of alignment are you guys talking about?

Definition: The checking and adjustment of caster, camber and toe angles in a vehicle's suspension to maintain specifications engineered by the vehicle manufacturer for optimum performance.

 

There's not really numbers that you need to know--when they put your car on the alignment machine (we use a Hunter up here) it should automatically have the factory settings programmed and will give you a reading of how far off you might be in any aspect.

 

Yeah, thats what I thought it was. If my car is not pulling, do I still
need an alignment...

 

A 4-wheel alignment.
