Yes, I believe you will need to be realigned with the new rims. As far as high performance "long mileage" summer tires are concerned, the Yoko S drive are good and relatively inexpensive(~$156) relative to the OEM A13c (>$300). The current rage, however, is the Dunlop Star spec from a performance point of view; Nitto NT05 have been rated by Black track ( https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/mo...lass-tire.html) as better and are slightly less expensive if my memory is correct. The UTQG rating on the Star spec and NT05 are lower (200) than the S drive (300) so should not last as long.

Wheels shouldn't change the alignment.
Springs will change it.

 

You would need an alignment after changing ride height, not after changing wheels.

 

i did my alignment after i lowered my car,what i am asking is do i need to do it again after change new rims ,because it is lower offset

 

No, you don't need to get another alignment after the wheels. Just the springs/lower ride height will change the alignment, not the lower offset wheels. You're good to go.
