Default Quick Question about Alignment and New Rims

So I'm buying some 17'' Tenzo Shus tomorrow to replace my stock GSR rims on my Integra and I was wondering if its neccesary to get my car aligned when I put them on, or is it possible for me to just throw them on without doing it.



Never replaced the rims on my car, so I have no idea. (Getting flamesuit on)

Thanks guys.

You won't need an alignment. Just make sure the rims are balanced properly.

Yup.

You should be getting 205/40-17 size tires...

I just put tenzo passion-5 black on my 06 EX, no alignment needed. The steering wheels is stiff-er and handling is great.

225/45/17 btw

Although it's not necessary...I'd recommend getting an alignment at the same time...for good measure. When was the last time you had an alignment? Is your car lowered at all?

Lower it unless you are going to go off roading. Specially on stock ride height and on 17s

Im already lowered on Tokico Illuminas with Eibach Pro kit.

I actually need an alignment, im pulling to the right.

Getting the rims tomorrow, i'll pop them on and take it down somewhere to have my oil changed and alignment done.
