Switching from custom 19's to stock 18's for winter, alignement?

L-Altos · 11-18-2009, 05:29 PM

OK this may be a dumb noob question, but I have been thinking about it.

My E90 is lowered on HR's and has HRE's with a custom offset 275/19F and 295/19R. I am going to put the stock 18's with snows soon and i was concerned about the how the current setup will work with the change.

Since the car had an alignment done after it was lowered with wider wheels, will this still work going back to 245/18, 265/18, or do I need to change some of the alignment specs?

Thanks

You do not need to get a new alignment with just a wheel change, so you will be fine.

When changing any suspension parts is when an alignment is needed/recommended.
