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.

Tesla Model 3 And Model Y Billet Adjustable Rear Toe Arm Set
Purchased these to dial in my rear alignment, went through so many rear tires glad to be back into spec. I had a tire blow out on the freeway with my family because I didn't notice the inside of the tire had worn down so much in just 4k miles! These rear-toe arms would have avoided that ordeal.

Installed in the morning and waited to drive, since I’m paranoid about losing it. Installation was easy. Directions were clean and easy to navigate. The packaging was more than adequate for protection. Not to mention it looks absolutely fantastic on my 2026 White Model 3. Keep it up!

Got these coil overs installed on my model 3 performance, and wow what a difference. Not only do they outperform the stock suspension in acceleration and cornering, but they also just ride so much smoother. Highly recommend!

I installed this sway bar today. I was shocked by the outcome in terms of handling.
