So after waiting almost 2 months to put these babies on im finnaly ready to put my aftermarket rims on my car they are silver forgestar F10 wheels 20in, tires already on them, ill post pics of befores and afters.

My question is should i just go to a hobby shop and put these on or should i go to like a tire shop, because i kno im going to need an alinement. Im just trying to figure out which would be the better route, and how much should i be expecting to spend. THX

here is what they look like

my car is athens blue, g37s coupe


here is the specs

Forgestar F10
| 20x8.5 + 38
| 20x10.5 + 46
5x114.3Hankook tires 245x35x20 and 285x30x20

8mm spacers gonna put these in the rear.

 

Do you need an alignment from just normal use? You shouldn't need one if you're just changing out your wheels.

 

well the car feels fine, i was just wondering if i was gonna need one going to an bigger rim, and should i expect the handinling to change drasticly?

 

yep.....supid people on motorcycles doing stupid things and coming into my ER and making me work.


god i hate spring

 

lol u might have a point there, but i just wanted to find out if this was an hobby shop type of project or if i should go to a tire shop.

 

The handling will be different due to a larger rim and different tires, not due to an alignment being needed.

 

Damn so i just got back from the shop, and they tried to put them on and the rear cleared, but the fronts didnt clear the brakes, so now i gotta buy a bigger spacer so that it fits. Im looking at 20mm spacer right now. It should give me enough. Im just mad because the rims were on looking good and then they had to take them off :-/
