Q: Do I need to get an alignment after installing aftermarket wheels?

Although it is not necessary, unless suspension modifications are also being installed at the same time, it’s often recommended to get a alignment after installing new wheels, especially if the size, offset, or width of the wheels significantly differs from stock specifications. This helps prevent uneven tire wear and ensures that the vehicle handles properly.

Very impressed with this tire and wheel set. I have a blue Model Y and I think that the Satin Asteroid Graphite go really well with my car’s color. I also went with the Yokohama 275/40/20 wide tire set up and they make the ride way more comfortable than before, a perfect addition to my UP comfort...

I was tired of replacing my rear tires all the time, between the power and weight of the Model Y P, this camber finally allowed me to dial in my alignment for tire wear and better traction. Will pay for itself with tire savings.

Phenomenal brake pads. As my daily grocery getter and occasional spirited driving, yes these may be overkill for some but with how fast the M3P is you can't go wrong with better stopping power. I've had these pads since April and would highly recommend to anyone that does occasional track days...
