new wheels

so im in th process of hookin Maxine up,put a set of 2000 max rims on it and my handling took a turn for the worse. is this normal? the car bounces around now...

i just did the control arms,inner/outer tie rod and ends,sway bar end links..drove beautifully after an alignment at school.

put the 17's on 2night and it feel wayyy different
do i just need another alignment?

well, i know when i put on my hyper silver 03 17 inchers it felt a world different. ypu gotta remember your dealing with a taller, wider tire. so more tires hitting the road and making turns and just drivin down the road a bit different. plus, you got more weight too, like 5 or 6 pounds give or take, just settle into the ride, you'll get used to it.

Unless the car is pulling to the side or the steering wheel isn't straight, you shouldn't need an alignment because of the wheels... are all 4 tires matching and of similar tread and same PSI?

If the car is bouncing around, the wheels may need to be balanced. May also want to look for any bends.
Simply swapping wheels should have no affect on the alignment.
Oh, BTW....
thats a clever name for your car......

Its gonna feel slightly different...but shouldnt be anything to worry about if you had your alignment and wheels balanced. Enjoy it.
