Wheel Alignment

[Mazda3LA]

Sorry if this question has been asked before but I just recently changed out my wheels and tires from size 16 to 17. My question is do I need to get a wheel alignment after the change? The tires are brand new.

you dont have to, if say you change a strut and a tie rod then yes you would, since you installed wheels you should be fine

Thanks for the reply.

I base it on the wear patterns of the previous tires. If they wore well, then no need to mess with a good thing.
