When you put on larger rims with wider rubber on a stock car do you have to get a new alignment?

Technically I have raised the height of the car due to the slighly larger wheel, so am I now riding with less camber??

Does a wider tread give you more or less toe in etc?

While I cannot answer your questions re camber/ride height... I would suggest you should get a wheel alignment.

I would just leave it, wheels wont change it much.

if you're due for an alignment soon anyway, just wait.


however this is from a person who got bigger wheels and their car lowered without getting an alignment done

as long as your rolling diameter does not change it will not matter re the wheels. But lowering the car will change your alignment settings - sometimes quite a bit.

larger wheels & tyre comination will not change the camber but will give you slightly wider track on the same allignment & same offset. but its prolly hardly worth a mention.


I'd be getting an allignment with new tyres regardless

nothing changes too much, as others have posted.

recommend wheel alignment asap.
