I couldn't on my old GS because the Lugs were centering. They didn't even fit the new wheel holes.

I would get an alignment just because you are now changing the geometry of your suspension.

most aftermarket wheels (actually i have yet to see an exception) can't use the stock lugs. the stock lugs for lexus wheels are actually quite different, it's the washer type. most aftermarket wheels they are tuner type (sp), which has a cone shape
