Just thinking outlound.....

When switching out different wheels, if not same wheels - different tire sizes.....how often or not often should one get a alignment to keep tire wear in check. Anytime you change either combos ?---- which would mean a costly means if I like to change shoes..$150 alignment on average.

For example, winter tars require me to put a 10mm spacer to clear brakes.
Summer shows - I have 2 different tires on the same exact set/style of wheels. If I remove the spacer, the setup changes.

Or Wheel #2.....has a slightly wider tire..


Just wondering. FWIW, I've pretty much had aligments done on the summer set I drive most on. Just wondering how good or bad it is to *not have the alignment* done when swapping out tars....

I only get alignments done when doing suspension changes. I'm pretty sure you don't need an alignment if you're just changing your wheels.

correct.

Tires and spacers have no effect on alignment/specs. Only have alignments done when bushings sag/or replacement, camber and toe is normally effected as ride height changes.
