Default Wheel Alignment

Just ditched my original runcraps @ 30K miles & noticed the front tires showed some excessive wear on the inside. Now that I've invested in Z06 wheels & F1 Supercars should an alignment be in my future?

get it done as soon as you get them on...but lower your car on stock bolts and then get it done...or else you'll be getting it aligned twice...

If you had wear on the inside of the front tires before, you'll definately have it now!
