I am switching from my stock 18"s to 19" Volks. No drop on the car or anything. Will I need an alignment. I heard no, but just wanted to make sure.

You dont HAVE to get one but it wouldn't hurt. The tires are wider and not exactly the same height so it will change slightly but you should be fine. If you start to hear a lot of noise from you tires, you might want to get it looked at.

I dropped my car and let the springs settle for a while. With my stock wheels, the alignment was off pretty bad, could easily see that the wheels were slanted inwards. After i put the new 19's on, it actually straightened out a good bit but i still needed an alignment.

If you can afford it, I would go get it done. Don't waste your $1000 tire investment because you didn't get an alignment. Remember you should be getting one at least every 6 months.

I think performance nissan in duarte had a service coupon for 49.95

that's a steal, and they do a good job there.

my car is a couple months old and the rims should be coming in a week. should I wait a few months to get an alignment or is it neccessary to get one right away?

depends on how much you drive the car, if you drive a lot a miles everyday, just do the alignment. For 50 bucks it's worth the peace of mind since a lot of cars seem like the alignment was off from the dealership.
