question regarding switching tires between 18"'s and 17's
Hey all, another question here.
I am getting the aspec wheels put on, and i want to keep it for the summer. In the winter, i plan to put the 17 oem wheels back on.
Do I need an alignment everytime i switch back and forth? Is there anything else that i need to be aware of when I switch the wheels with different sizes?
I plan to have an aspec suspension also.
thanks.

You don't necessarily have to get an alignment, but I STRONGLY recommend it. Technically, if you aren't veering to one side or another, you are good to go, as long as you've got even treadwear on all 4 tires.
However, if I was you, then I would definitely get an alignment, especially since you say you are getting the A-Spec suspension. When you switch out your tires, I'd get another alignment, to make sure the specs are within range.
4-wheel alignments are recommended every 6 months or 6K miles.
