Winter is here :-( swapping to old rims?

Hey guys

Winter is back in NY and I need to go back to my Stock setup. I wanted to know if I should do a 4 or 2 wheel alignment ? Balancing ? Or both?

Current set up is 18" ASA AR1s with 225/45-18, going back to the stock tires and rims. Thanks for the help.

ANy time you change your setup is always good to get an alignment

All four wheels or just the front? and do i need to balance them again? the stock tires were never removed from the rims.

Do you really need an alignment when you change wheels? I thought it was only necessary with a suspension change?

agree w/ ferizzo, alignment unnecessary. balancing however is a different story.
if, you marked your tire/wheels prior to removal (that marking being 1. location Lf-left front, etc AND 2. the location on the spindle) and match them to the exact location again, then no rebalance necessary.
this technique obviously only works if not rotating. (i generally put on 2k mi per winter so, i get 2 winteres on each balance job prior to rotation)
