Fitted New Rims - Need Balance/alignment?

[SS8_Gohan]

hi guys

just fitted my new 18's, just wondering about balance and alignment issues. I got the rims balanced the other day, but haven't had an alignment yet as they couldn't get my car up the friggen ramp thing, too low they reckon (despite it being at least 1-2 cm's above legal height)

anyways, on dead flat roads, the car doesn't pull in any particular direction, it seems to drive quite straight. Should i get an alignment only if it's pulling, or should i get it done anyway, just because they're new rims on the car?

cheers,

daniel

alignment is only $60~

why risk wearing out your $250+ tyres over $60?

try tractiontyres.

yep been to them before, when i had the 17's. I got them balance and aligned there, but my car was pulling when i put those 17's on myself, and a bit of shake a high speeds. Balance and alignment sorted it but, they did say that there wasn't any factory adjustment up front for them to stop chopping out the inside?

so am i right in saying there is no camber adjustment for the front wheels? i'm pretty sure i remember Traction Tyres saying they did what they could but the factory adjustments were just not there to be able to stop them from chopping the insides

Is it all done and dusted?

the rims in my sig aren't my rims, i got some R34 GTR rims, the rims in my sig are for sale!!

Yeah, i think i should get it aligned, but i don't want to waste money on getting them done when the fronts can't be fixed properly. I'm not sure if the R34's have front camber adjustment, which i'm pretty sure was my problem last time

yeah pretty much there.

troy's just doing a polish and tidy up on it now.

had it for a few weeks, got tuned, brakes and suspension done.

post some pics of the 34GTR wheels - black with GTR34 wheels - like mine. nice.

haven't taken any pics yet, but i definitely should.

be keen to know what polish/products/wax/RO troy is using. I've gotten into detailing recently, and have been learning from the master, finalinspection.com.au

car sounds hot though, need some pics too
