With changing wheels it really shouldn't matter but might as well get it done with the wheels you plan on using for a while. However, with modifying your suspension it is always a good idea to get an alignment done afterwards.

Recommendation: Get alignment done after you are done tinkering with your suspension and wheels.

Cheers.

Maybe some of the suspension components have to seat them selves in or wear in. That would be my guess. Like your springs might compress a bit until they find their right spot. That is just my shot in the dark.

Cheers.

The springs need to settle before you get it aligned.
