jumping for 14" to 16" rims..do i have to do wheel alignment again? or anything else other than just swap them over.

[XP02ED]

alignment again to avoid camber wear ;D if the wheels are balanced already then u dont have too

[Zdster]

Nope.

I went from 14 -> 15 -> 16, stayed with 16 because wedsports look better in 16 =P

Use lower profile tyres to offset the increase in wheel diameter so that it wont throw off your speedo too much.

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.

[krogoth]

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????

I mean, if all your doing is bolting a different rim to the hub, the hubs alignment isnt going to alter in any way. Camber angles/caster angles and toe angles wont be effected at all, by bolting up a different rim/tyre combo.

I would of thought a wheel ballance would be all thats required.

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

different rim/tyre combo!
it can be of different weight, width and overall diameter. piece of mind and rather to be safe than sorry is def. worth the 5o bucks.


in saying that, i need to get an alignment done. where can i get a wheel alignment done in the inner city area of melb? a place that can do lowered cars with big wheels.
