Upgrading to 19's - Alignment required?
« on: July 27, 2016, 09:02:44 pm »
Evening all,

Upgrading my 18's on the mk7 to 19's, would I require alignment or tracking?

Just worried it may spoil the ride or wear the inner tyres out. Did a google but got mixed reviews, and I know there are experts on this forum.

Many thanks in advance  :smiley:

Hope not, these are genuine Santiago alloys, which were an upgrade alloys for the mk7. I know they will be slight difference, but hopefully not too much, otherwise the wife is going to kill me  :rolleye:
