just curious.... alot of civics i see with rims have a lean inward on the rear tires... is it my alignment or what?

its not by much... and the tires dont seem to look like uneven wear yet at least......

if you changed your suspension without getting an alignment, you're probably in need of one. Why would you wait until you get new rims? Your rims won't change your alignment

na i havent changed the suspension....
i was going to use the money with sellen my truck for the air strut suspension...
not sure what my original tire size where but the 17s i have on thier now are 205/40/17s..
not sure how close those are to the stock size tires... but the front looks fine which is odd... i dont remember is leanign when i got the car..

maybe it was when i got the car... off in the rear that is....

but i think my rims are 42 offset.... and i want to get some 40offset rims to suck them in alittle more.......
id think that would throw it off alittle.


i wouldnt think my small 150extra pounds would make it lean like that...

well wouldnt say beter..... but a more adjustable ride with the push of a button either way plus i can lift it up or let all the air out and lay it out...

mainly something to just play with more! and i love the sound of air bags when they deflate... PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS pSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS PSSSSSSSSSSSSS [8D]
