so im going from the stock tires to a 245/40-18 do i need to get an alignment after this is done or should i get one done? thanks for the help guys

 

Yes. It is always a good idea to get an alignment when you put on new tires, or change suspension pieces.

 

Our cars seem to be extremely sensitive to any changes in the suspension geometry. I pulled off my wheels to paint them, put them back on and now it pulls slightly to the left. Need to sign up for a "life-time" alignment

 

If it was good before it will still be good.

 

more then likely its fine. butttt it never hurts to re check and re do. get some nice settings for your style of driving. and go somewhere that offers lifetime warranty on the alignment. I have been to my place 4 times this year and have been changing my settings to get them exactly where i want them lol. all you have to say is its pulling to the left or something

 

hey thanks for the help, guess im getting an alignment done as soon as i get back lol

 

Alignment is set at the hub.

Changing tires will not have a drastic effect on alignment. If it was fine before, its fine after.

If you are changing suspension parts -- then get an alignment.
