Changing from18"-19 wheels. Does it need alignment?

JOE YOUNG · 10-17-2015, 02:39 PM

I have just bought a set of new 19" OEm wheels with tyres to replace my 18s.
Now, does my car need the wheels aligned? All are OEM sizes including tyres.
Thanks

No. The setup will be aligned regardless of the wheel size. However if you go from narrow wheel to wide wheels you may want a different setup and small misalignment may be enhanced.
