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
