Default new rims/tires, do i need an alignment?

switching up rims, wondering if i need to get an alignment afterwards? they are both 15's but the ones im putting on have 195/55/15, ones i have on right now are 205/50/15. not going to adjust the coilovers height.

just check, go on a nice flat road and if you car rides stright for a while then no. if it starts to turn then you need one, or when you are driving stright and your steering wheel is turned a lil then you should get one! gl

that doesnt always work because the toe or camber settings could be off which you wouldnt notice by driving in a straight line.

if you don't change to a massively different scrub radius, you are fine.
