Wheels

I just put on some 17" and low profile tires on my max but i slightly gave one an abrasion by rubbing it on a curve is there any thing i can do to smooth it out other than getting a new rim? And since I changed my wheels do I need an alignment bc my car is vibrating more than usual or is the wheels unbalanced?

try taking it back to the tire shop where you had them mounted and ask them to rebalance the wheels. they should do it for free.
i doubt it would have thrown off your alignment so fast.

Hey 2000MilkedMax, everytimes I change my wheel set-up, I have all the wheel re-balance and the alignment re-done everytime it cost more but this way your ensure the set-up is optimal.

Cheers

Also make sure you have the proper hubcentric rings.
