Question for the experts. I just got 18" wheels and 245/40/18's instead of 235/40/18's. Should i have the alignment checked?

 

A tire / wheel change shouldn't effect the alignment.

What kind of wheels? ( Not that it matters ).


I live just north of you.

 

Yes you do. We love to backpack around Trail and Nelson.

Here's the link for the wheels.

Its never a bad idea to get the alignment checked- then adjusted if not perfect spec.
Just driving on Earth will cause a need for adjustment! Potholes- road construction, curb slaps...
Tires are expensive, so is gasoline- wheels going the correct direction with no scrub effect are better than ones pointed in or out

Get a 4 wheel thrust alignment- and dont let them bs you
The only adjustment on a stock TL is the toe, and it should read close to zero when done and the camber should be zero if nothing is bent, a little negative camber is good and happens when you lower the car.
