Question Can't I just put my new wheels on?

I am buying Volk GTC 9.5 and 10.5 on 255 and 285 tires. Do I need to do anything besides roll the fenders maybe to install them? Front end alignment or camber adjustment?

If you have more than 7500 mi since your last alignment or your old tires show an uneven wear pattern I would get one. Why take a chance. An honest shop will let you know if your still within specs when they put your car on the rack.

there are also loactor pins on your hubs that will need to be removed. I do recommend an alignment after install. The money you spend will get you extra life on your tires.

if your align is correct before you put on the new wheels, it will remain correct, jacking your car up and replacing the wheels doesn't magically change your align, and recommended alignment specs don't change based on the tire/wheel width and diameter.

Sure you can get it checked, just like you can get it checked with your old wheels, it makes no difference

Are the loactor pins easy to remove?
