Hey guys, well I had my car aligned very recently at west end alignment but my only problem is that I got an entire different wheel/tire combo with different sizes/offsets from the stock wheels/tires he aligned my car with. Also when I was there he kept mentioning about how the insides of my front tires were worn uneven, could he have possibly given more positive camber to balance the difference?

Sorry if these are stupid questions, but I figured if I asked you guys I may save $90 bucks or so for something else . Thanks in advance guys!

absolutely needed? no.

preferable? yes.

so you would say get a full 4 wheel alignment. In the meantime will it have a big impact on handling/tire wear?

I would recommend it if you are putting brand new tires on the wheels (might as well make the most out of new tires). If you are using old tires you could probably hold off till the new tires arrive

do it right...get it re-aligned.

alrighty will do. Since darren has a long wait most of the time to get alignments done at west end, would it hurt the tire to run say about 500 miles on my alignment as is, or should I bolt the on just before I leave to go down there?

okay so whats the downside to running my new wheels/tires on my alignment right now. Would it be performance or tire wear?? Reason I ask is Im wondering if I should run them while Im waiting for an opening for an alignment. But ill steer clear of the canyons and such.

But IF I will get any kind of extra tire wear then Ill just bolt them on the day of for an alignment. TIA

Wait until the day of the alignment to bolt on the new wheel and tire combo...

and ask to record the before and after specs. im curious if the alignment really could/would change with different sized wheels.
