Angry A Few Questions about Alignment


1) How long until I should get an alignment after springs installed?
2) Do I put my new wheels and tires on first before I get an alignment?
3) with Work Emotions 17x8 in front and 17x9 +44 in the back will a setting of F -1.7 & R -2.5 be ok, with Espelir springs?
4) What should the other settings be TOE etc....
5) How much usually?

1) 1 week
2) yes
3) wait until jeff rolls your fenders to see how much camber you need
4) if you are daily driving it, then you can just have the shop put them as close to factory settings as they can get.
5) depends where you go. $75+

Can I drive to JEFFS with the wheels on or will I automatically rub? I guess I can just put one in the trunk and one in the pax seat
