I'd definitely get one bro. You wanna preserve the tires. What was the offset of the other wheels? Got any pics yet?

Yeah, changing wheel size does not effect alignment.

He not only changed the wheels size he changed offset. Those wheels are sticking out quite a bit more than the stocks. But hey, what do I know. I'd definitely get one especially if you're lowered too.

If you just change the wheels the alignment stays the same. If you change any of the suspension components you need a new alignment. The new wheels are still sitting at the same camber and toe angles that the old wheels are.
