Hey guys... I'm running on stock 124 rims with Dunlop RFTs on my 2008 535i. I got a good deal on a set of the same wheels with Dunlop M3 winter tires. The owner had them on his 550i.
My questions is do I need to balance and/or align the wheels after the switchover?
thx

you dont need to re-allign unless you ahve uneven tyre wear but if you have never had the new wheels and tyres balanced then you should get that done, usually they would come balanced from the palce you bought them though, you will know when you drive the car if they are not.

Alignment no; balance only if needed. Ask the seller when they were last balanced (probably only when purchased).
