Advice on wheel alignment

[Eugene T]

Hi guys,

Stupid question. I've just bought a used set of 17 alloys to replace the 16s on my boxster. Can I just get quikfit to put them on or do I need to get them aligned? Thanks!

Assuming the wheels you bought have the correct offsets (and stud patterns!), they will go straight on without any need for alignment.

Personally I would do it myself and avoid Quick Shite like the plague unless you want the car improperly jacked etc...

No need for wheel alignment, but you should have the new wheels and tyres balanced and check the rolling circumference is same for the speedo. (the 17 inch tyres should be a lower profile)
