Would this throw tracking/alignment out?

[Jimbob 2705]

This is probably a very stupid question, but I've fitted the following today :

Changed from Standard 182 Alloys to ET38.5 Turinis, Brand New Michelin PS3's (195's compared to 205's on the old alloys)
Stud and Nut Kit
10mm Front Spacers (Non-Hubcentric)
10mm Rear Hub Spacers

Driving the car tonight since fitting all the above, the car is pulling right if the steering wheel is kept straight or if you want to go go straight you have to turn the steering wheel to around 10 o'clock

It was spot on before, car would go straight when steering wheel straight

So yes I've changed a lot to do with the width of the car, but technically it's all been done symmetrical and evenly - what's been done on one side has been done the same the other side

Surely fitting spacers and different wheels shouldn't need new alignment setting up?

Trying to work out if there is something more fundamentally wrong...

Chances are something would of messed the alignment.
I would have it all re-alligned anyway. Will more than likely sort it instead of doing your head in chasing loose ends.

Cheers Lee, I planned to get it aligned anyway

Just wanted to double check if there's a chance this could happen, before taking it in for alignment

My tracking was fine untill all i changed was the tyres and it was pulling to one side after.
Took it for a hunter alignment and it was fine after that.
Not to expensive to have them tracked either and it is a lot mre pleasent to not have to keep fighting the wheel to go straight.
Hope you get it sorted buddy.

Top man, that's what I wanted to hear - if someone as simple as a tyre change can throw your tracking out, it's no wonder mines a bit out after all the bits I've changed!

yes could happen. especially if the wear is not even.

Not only that but if your tracking was a little bit out before, adding the spacers will make it more noticeable as with the wider track they want to follow the camber of the road more.

If I so much as breathe too heavily on my steering wheel it will go out of alignment, I give up getting it aligned. Adding spacers will normally require re-alignment.
