I currently have some 19x10 with 28 offset in rear and 19x9 in front with 30offset and a Hotchiks drop. I had an alignment a few months ago and everything was good. My ? is, if I went a 10mm spacer all the way around, how bad would it affect the alignment if any?

I'm trying to avoid buying some adjustable camber and toe kits, for there really not justifyable for my type of drop but if needed I might just suck it up and buy. Then in that case I might as well go with a bigger drop. Any lower, along with the body kit I have it won't be able to fit on my lift.

 

Spacers don't change your alignment.

 

Actually, in theory they do, when you push the wheels further away from the hub, you increase the distance from the axis of rotation of the suspension, and in effect increase the torque applied to the springs and compress them slightly more. This will in turn change camber and toe.

 

So does sitting in the car, which puts far more actual change into the chassis. It's a moot point. You don't need a alignment. Real issue with spacers is the added stress they put on the hubs. Spacing the wheels farther out does a great job at increasing that stress.

 

they most certainly do, and as for alignment, that's why the closer to "ideal" you want, the more its important to be sitting in the car when it's done.

The farther you space the wheel out, the more any prexisting conditions (excess camber, toe, etc) become even more exxagerated

 

I never said he would need an alignment, the change in the alignment is small, I think we agree on that part. Your statement that spacer's don't change an alignment is what I had to correct. A good alignment shop should perform the alignment with a ballast equal to your weight in the driver's seat so the alignment is the same on both sides with you in the car

 

Actually I answered his question, you got off on a pointless tangent.
