well, technically changing wheels can mess up the alignment a bit, after all you are changing the suspension parts (sorta). but realistically it is usually ok, unless you raised / dropped your car

Yah....i agree....its not needed, but to be safe....I would get it done so that there's no abnormal wear on the brand new tires.
