Stupid question of the month..alignment


Recommended Posts

yep, its that time again :) anyway, was wondering if you would have to do an alignment again if you changed tire sizes from 16" to 14"?? am going from summer to my winter tires and i had heard that you need to have an alignment done again due to the 2" difference..yeah or neah?

The 2" change from 16" to 14" only describes the wheel (rim) diameter difference, and hopefully not the overall tire size difference. I assume that the tires being used have similar outside diameters to each other, whether 14" or 16"; if so, the change shouldnt be a cause to re-align.

 

What can have some effect is wheel offset, but hopefully you have the correct wheels.
