Default Steering wheel alignment?

After installing an aftermarket wheel, my steering wheel is not quite aligned (like 1-2 degrees to the left when driving straight). Will a wheel alignment fix this or do I need to adjust the rack?

How do you adjust the rack?

Thanks.

Wheel alignment will fix this.

If you can't fix it by rotating the hub one spline then you'll need to lengthen the left tie rod and shorten the right. Adjust each with an equal amount of turns though of you'll screw up your toe.

Sounds easy enough, but I think I'll leave it for the wheel alignment technician
