Question Need 4-wheel alignment after installing 19"s???

Just wondering:
Has anyone had a 4wheel alignment performed after installing 19" rims?? Is it necessary??
Thanks

i just installed the 19's this weekend. i am going to drive about 100 miles and then go get an alignment. but, i also have the car lowered about 2 inches. so, that might make the alignment more worthwhile.

i'll let you know if anything is out of alignment though.

Negatory on that. Only when changing your suspension.

it doesn't hurt to get one. also, if you get it done at sears....they won't charge you if they dont' change anything. at least they didn't charge me when i had it aligned after i installed the springs.

camber is the only thing you can't adjust. you can adjust the toe and the caster though.

you might not need it....but, if they don't change anything....it's free. if it's free....why not do it. just make sure they will do it for free if they don't change anything. i know i get it for free.

The Sears around me (ie: Brockton) I think employs runaway gorrillas......
I think I'll pass on the Sears thing-- been there, done that!
