    Alignment and new tire set? 56k warning

    I just got my alignment on my car done but i realized that i'm gonna get new tires and rims for the winter time.
    I'm going back to stock size with some blizzak tires, i'm going to have new black steelies and 185/65/14 tires.
    Will i have to do an alighnment again? Or it doesn't matter what tire you have when an alignment gets done

    if you're going smaller rim size, make up for it with the bigger tire size..it's not rocket science

    You don't need a front end alignment with new wheels or tires. You only need it when you disassemble the suspension or raise and lower the car. When you put the suspension back together it is always little bit off.

    alright, well then i guess i don't need one then

    o and btw, who ever said u don't need a camber kit for KYB GR2 struts and TRD springs is wrong. The rear needs one and the front just a tiny bit. But the shop said its so minor that if u rotate the tires every 5000 miles u won't notice unusual wear. I have the paper with the numbers, but no where to host it

    Here is the pic of the actual results, they said they tried to adjust it asmuch as it can go, but camber kit is needed to finish it
