You'll have to re-do your alignment once the new wheels come in anyway, so you may as well corner balance again too.

The car looks super clean right now and it will look even better with the new wheels (brushed centers look hot on a white car)!
Why do you need to re-do the alignment because of new wheels? I can't understand why......

Wheels are almost here so look for more pics soon!







Nice car!

I'm doing the Damptronic next week. What setting do you have in front, have you lowered the height compared to the basic setting?

I need to know because your front ride height is to low for me.

Yup! You hit the nail on the head. Whenever you get new wheels/tires, you need to get them re-aligned for maximum tread wear and patch contact, especially if they are different brands/sizes.

Thanks for your answer.

I understand that different brands and types of tyres may have different construction and therefore different shape. But if I have seen correct, when aligment is done they put these sensor on the wheel and in the hub for correct values. I then can't understand why the tyres makes a difference.....
