Default recenter steering wheel?

After new bigger shoes installed (tire and rim), it seems I have to keep the steering wheel slightly left to go straight. Do I need to recenter the steering wheel? or alignment?

There is nothing to align other than re-centering the steering wheel.

toe-in, out

but i would think putting on bigger tires wouldnt effect that

but if its straying then its worth a look

When I recentered my steering wheel it did not stray but the wheel itself was just cocked to one side....and the ESP would go off

Good write-ups on www.project-JK.com for both steering wheel adjustment and alignment options.

vehicles should be aligned after ANY suspension mods... even after a budget boost
