    When getting larger tires than stock when the Jeep is new require getting the suspension aligned? Went from 216 to 225 & the rear camber appears to be off as the tires seem to be biased to the inside. Does getting wider tires automatically require getting wheels aligned?

    I would assume so, I had to get my mini realigned just switching to snow tires

    Thanks for the response. How will it effect tire wear? I can visually see more wear on the inside of the tire already and it's only been a week.

    Also, does this mean the McPherson Strut type suspension has negative camber when not moving but at speed it has less?

    Thank you for your informative answer. Since the tires will wear more on the interior should they be rotated more ofetn, say every 3K instead of 5K
