Default Alignment Question.

This may be a stupid question, if so I apologize. I've lowered my car and just put on my rear camber arms. Should I get an alignment now, or should I wait until I put on my new wheels and tires in a couple of weeks. It can stay garaged in the meantime, so driving it isn't an issue. Another way of asking, do wheel/tire widths make a difference in how the car is aligned? Thanks.

Yes, wait until you have your new wheel and tire combo before the alignment. If your tires or wheels differ in the slightest, whether it is overall diameter, width, or offset, it will effect your stance and alignment.

+1 - driving around for a little isnt going to do much. I wouldnt worry and just get the alignment done after the wheel install. Remember to post up some pics!
