    would i need to get an alignment done if upsizing my rims and tires?

    just in case you're wondering, it will be to factory specifications, i am putting 17's on my 06 sentra 1.8 replacing the stock 15's. The 17" specs are that of the SE-R Spec V model.

    Yes, it also might throw your speedometer off a little bit and cause you to have worse gas mileage.

    Maybe not if your new wheels are not double or triple reverse but, don't take a chance. Have it checked. Could cause uneven tire wear and put a strain on caster/camber parts.i

    I would. You are changing a lot of geometry.

    most likely wheel balance and speedo accuracy will be affected.
