Winter wheel swap need alignment
Hi all,
May be novice question and I know I'll find out once I swap but trying to save some time since I have a beater. Currently on 437m 275/295 PSS Lowered on EMD 10mm spacers all around Want to swap to 18s 245/45/18 Can I leave spacers on? You think I'll need alignment? Car is so dialed in I don't want to fuck with it. Thanks all! |

I might have fucked up here, I'm on EMD springs
I think my current tire setup is a little over 24inches What I am swapping too it a little over 25 inches Will it settle? I already rub I think in the back over crazy expansion joints but rarely. |

Stock 19" setup has about 26" diameters.
Looks like you need to run your winter set without spacers so tires fit in the wheel wells right. Don't realign for winter setup, just deal with it. That's because you say your summer setup is dialed in right, and you need summers to stick right. You shouldn't be pushing hard with winters on anyway…

I swap out my 437s for 18" X-Ice the same size as you OP, I'm only lowered ~1"with 12mm spacers and I only had an issue with the fronts rubbing the liner mid turn if I leave the spacers on (fixed that with a heat gun). Your offsets might be more aggressive than mine and that's why you're rubbing, try taking the spacers out?

Your tire size should be fine (26.7 inch dia vs a 26.3 recommended ) so you would probably run slightly on your fender liners.
