Default Alignment?

Does it make sense to get a wheel alignment on my factories when im changing my wheels to 20" in about 2 weeks. the reason i ask is because i just changed my ball joints, inner and outer tie rods and need a wheel alignment badly. Im thinking i can get it aligned now eventhough my tires are not so good and then put my 20"s in 2 weeks. What do yall think?

I would align it AFTER your put your 20s on.

After i put my 19s on i made sure to get an alignment that suited the wheels properly too. If your 20s for some reason are too wide or something you may need a bit of negative camber to not rub.

Anyways, long story short. Do it after

Just wait the 2 weeks. You don't want to pay twice or do you?

Is your car lowered? If not, are you going to put some kind of suspension on it soon? If you don't plan on lowering it you'll be just fine doing the alignment now, before the rims.
