Is alignment needed after wheel spacers - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #76248 7 posts Started by malecrod
Hi Everyone,
Trying to figure out if I need an alignment done, after installing 20mm wheel spacers on all wheels with OEM tires and wheels. I had alignment done just 3 months ago before installing the spacers. Any answers will be appreciated.
Thanks

More than likely yes. After messing with anything in that area, you'll usually need an alignment.

installing spacers doesn't change your aligment, unless you feel your car misaligned, there is no need for an aligment, so no, spacers don't require an aligment after installation.
I have 25mm spacers on all four corners, I haven't gotten an alignment since, and my alignment is fine.

That's weird. I replaced my tires and needed an alignment.

Thanks everyone, that saves me some time and money. I noticed the car doesn't lean as much around corners. its amazing how little upgrades like that make a noticeable difference.
