I have an 06 and i just put rota p45r with 265/285 do i need an allignment, becouse of the new wheels... I am broke i would prefer not to have to do it

 

alignment has nothing to do with the wheels only things that would matter is if you changed the overall size of wheel/tire combo by too much.

otherwise no.

 

not exactly true, offset does affect camber, though not to a noticeable degree, but from a physical standpoint, pushing the wheels further away from the suspension pivot point increase the torque applied and increases the force applied to the springs, compressing them a little bit more and thus increasing camber as a side affect. Since toe changes with camber, the toe also changes, so the alignment is affected. Some poeple with extremely low offset wheels actually notice this after installing their wheels. It is subtle though, and on most wheels wont be noticeable

 

Im guessing that drift prolly went with the p45r +25 on offset which wouldnt affect the setup from stock comparitively enough to make a difference.

 

If you're broke after buying some Rotas, you probably should have saved your money for your car or insurance payment.

 

I think the tires prolly were more than the wheels. Its those damn tires they get ya everytime.

 

i get tires for free i have a semi sponsor. I just kinda got in touch with a whole bunch of places and said im 18 and trying to work my way up the ranks in autocross, and get to time trials level. I used to race shifter carts growing up, and allways have been good with car control. and sent some times, where iv been damn close to the guys from nationals. and then now i get free tires, they come from germany and have 80--90 percent tread left, i get to choose between pirrelli, conisportcontact, or pilot sport. I went pirrelli this time. When they get low they send the next set, all i have to do is go to 15 autocrosses, and 3 track events, and put a temporary sticker for AKtuning. Its a sick company, U can get a set of tires with 80-90 percent tread for like 300. I got the payment covered plus, don’t knock me im not apologizing for this, but I only have to pay half my parents give me the rest for keeping a 3.8gpa in school. There is alot of talk about what car people drive when they are young, and yeah for most kids id say its true. But I have worked for a top Porsche race team, (farnbacher loles), and I own my own high end detailing company specializing in Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, BMW, and im in the process of starting a ink recycling company. My dad is into cars so he was willing to help me out with it. Plus he had a silver Z when he was my age. 240z

 

Hmm...but you're broke after getting the Rotas? Doesn't quite add up.
