jumping for 14" to 16" rims..do i have to do wheel alignment again? or anything else other than just swap them over.
alignment again to avoid camber wear ;D if the wheels are balanced already then u dont have too :D
Nope.
sweet..thanks guys. wheels are already balanced.
closed!
15" or 16" ? I cant decide.
which would be better?
and any balancing needed after?
I went from 14 -> 15 -> 16, stayed with 16 because wedsports look better in 16 =PQuote:

always get wheel alignment done after you have changed the wheels (size), tyres, height.
the cost of wheel alignment is "nothing" compared to cost of tyres (suppy & labour) and you get a piece of mind on top of that.
I agree with Ezzy. Just safer that way.
get evrything aligned and balanced
dont cheap out on 50, be on the safe side
I dont get it, I cant see any way changing your wheels will effect your alignment settings????:confused:Quote:

I would of thought a wheel ballance would be all thats required.:thumbdwn::thumbsup::confused:
Its only piece of mind dude. IF you have a previous setup of wheels/tyre combo , and put on a brand new set you want the alignment to be in tip top shape :thumbsup:Quote:

lol man
i highly highly dought that is the case
u have an 06 vti civic?
how much have u lowered? wat have u got? 19inches? 20 inches?
just call them up b4 u go, tell them ur setup
if they can do it, theyll do it
if they cant, theyll recommend som1 who can
highly high doubt the case? and so a 06 Vti civic isnt good enoygh for you?
my 06 Vti is my daily sh!tbox.
how about i just give a tyre shop a call and find out from them? and we'll all know whether i need to realign or anything?! theres a 50/50 response here with peoples opinons.
i never said ur civic is a shit box -_-Quote:
