Question Need Some Advice On Alignment Issues.

Hey guys, I just bought 2 new toyo T1-S for my front wheels. I have 20's on with about a 2.5 inch drop on TEINS.

1)How often do you guys with a drop and large rims get an alignment?

2) The situation with me is, I got a 4 wheel total alignment around 2-3 months ago and I just changed out my 2 front tires 2 days ago. Should I get another alignment? My rear tires still looks like I have a good 5000 miles left on them.

3) My alignment guy says that I need ALWAYS a 4 wheel alignment, not just the front. I am no expert but is what he saying correct? He says he can only do the front but he would have to charge me the full price of the 4 wheel alignment.

Thanks for any help guys !

yeah, the gs is nutorously sensitive to alignment, so definitely get 4 wheels alignment. and with 20" alignment is even more important so you even you just change your front tires, get alignment assp

Yo Diesel. Yeah bro. I'm like always getting a alignment. I get one done everytime I change from 17's to 19's & back. You know how sensitive the GS steering can be if your alignment is even a little bit off. Your ride (handling) will be greatly improved if ya go wit the alignment. You will get much better wear on your tires too. Man, I hate having to get it done too. JMO.
