Default Alignment question.

I just put my new rims on yesterday, and I have one question. My alignment is thrown off slighty now, my offset is 38+ in the front. Im not sure how this happened but I just wanted to get some feedback.

nothing to do with offset. just go do an alignment. i do notice that sometimes after changing rims, the alignment is off

When you alter the overall dimensions of the vehicle in relation to the road (whether new tires and wheels , lowering the car, etc. ) it does affect your alignment, I do not think it is as big a deal as you think it is. Just be sure to take it to a reputable shop and if possible watch them do the alignment, ask for before and after specs and be sure that they align all four wheels

Also when are you gonna post some pictures of those wheels on that car man
