Default Get another alignment...or will it be ok?

I have 17/18 wheels with 265/295 tires, lowered max on stock bolts, and aligned

I am getting 18/19 wheels with 275/325 tires....


Should I get another alignment? Would it make that much of a difference if I step up to this setup?

Surprisingly enough when I lowered the car the alignment was off very very little.

Thanks!

Alignment doesn't change with bigger wheels...so if the alignment was good before, it will be after the change as well...

And you're right...if you only lower the Vette on the stock bolts, the alignment will just change a little. But it still is necessary to get it checked. Indy
