i just got my new wheels, something got screwed up with the tires so still waiting to put them on.

then there was a problem and i need a 25mm spacer in the back as well....that will be here in about a week and a half.

what would you guys suggest i tell the shop? anything in particular?

im going from 17s to 18s, they are 8.5 front and 10 back (well technically the width of the rear ones is 11 so thats whats causing the spacer issue)

i will be putting 225/40/17 front and 275/40/18 back.

btw, this is on a stock suspension on a 98 2.5

thx in advance

Is your current alignment off?

You do not need an alignment if all you did is change wheel/tire sizes.

If you do need an alignment, your answers to the following questions will help determine what you should ask for.

1. What is your primary use of the car? Commuting? "Spirited" canyon driving? Autocross? Track?

2. What is your tolerance to uneven/high tire wear?

3. Will you trade tire wear for better handling?
