Default alignment

i am about to purchase a set of 18's.

i just dropped my car on tein s tech springs and i am waiting for them to settle in(also get the rims) before i do the alignment.

the 18's will be the summer/spring/fall rims, while the 16's will be the autox/winter rim.

would i need to get a alignment everytime i switch from 18's to 16's n vice versa?

thanks

should be the same. the tire thickness is changing, so the actually diameter is staying the same. Unless you got low profile tires on your 16's.

well... if you don't believe me, think about it - why would it change?

angle always stays the same.

i believe u, i woudlnt think your lieing. it was cause...

i've always been told that anytime u mess with your suspension u'll mess with the alignment, i thought changing out the rims would to.

but the way u said it, "angle always stays the same" now that makes more sense.

thanks for the input. i am a noob. lol i never got a alignment done before. i always had negative camber with my older cars
