nope just me! honestly though once you have an alignment done after your springs and sways that is all that you need. it doesnt matter if its done on 17's or 19's. if you decide to switch down the road you dont need to get an alignment but if its been awhile since your alignment was donewhen you finnaly get your 19's then you may want to get one just to make sure that every thing is still straight to make your tires last.

You definitely want to get an alignment after getting your new wheels and tires as that is a gib investment. The lower profile you go, the softer the tire and you can eat them up in a hurry with a bad alignment...

No, not necessarily a week later!!!

Honestly? If it is a week, I'd get your springs/sways installed, skip the alignment and do it once the new tire/wheel package is on since the load difference will occur with the larger set-up, and a week without an alignment is no biggie on your stock tires even if it were bad...

My god. A run-on sentence that I'm too lazy to change...

yea if its only going to be a week or 2 i would wait to have it done all at the same time. if longer than that have the alignment done right away and just have it checked when you have your rims put on!
