Should I get an alignment after purchasing new wheels and tires
 
I have a 2008 JK with a 2.5 BB, with 1.5 inch wheel spacers. I just purchased new wheels and 295/75/16 tires, and was wondering if I need to get an Alignment. I had got an alignment a few monts ago and can't see the reason why I would need another, but I was told that I should. So I figuered I would ask, What do you all think?

If it is only new wheels and tires, no need. However, make sure the wheel and tire package is balanced and properly inflated. You don't want unnecessary vibrations.

When your wheels and tires are off, take a look at your balljoints, control arm joints, tie rod ends, and track bar joints. It's a great chance to inspect for wear and tear.

Thanks for the information, I have checked everything and it seems good, the ride is also just as smooth as before the change
