What are some signs your vehicle would need an alignment check?
1) Wheel backspacing or offset. This determinse how far in or out the outside edge of the rim will sit in reference to the face of the rotor where it bolts on. Wider wheels and tires sometimes require a different offset to keep the tires from rubbing on the insides of the fenders.

2) You CAN change the wheel diameter without changing the tire diameter. See Kyle M's expanation on that one... I'll take his word for it...lol
3) Larger wider wheels to create a larger rolling mass... it's a pretty small difference in this case though. You could go from 14" wheels to 16" or 17" with little noticable difference in stopping power... but any bigger and I would upgrade the brakes. Keep in mind also that if you have large opening in the wheels that the brakes will be more visable... and rusty old stock brack calipers and rotors look like crap.

The size of the rim isnt the problem. The offset and rolling diameter are.Gear 3 slips back to neutral while driving?
The rolling diameter is the rim size+2 times the tire wall heigth. To find the tire wall dimension, take the (width of the tires (which is the first number on a tire size, in millimeters))*(second number (hight to width ratio) divided by 100). that will give you the height of the tire wall in millimeters. Then divide that by 24.5 to get it in inches. Then multiply it by 2 and add it onto the rim size.
