Default Should I get an alignment? New Wheels

Hi all,

I just switched from 19 x 8.5 Tenzos back to the stock rims after about 2 years with them. I had the car aligned to the 19's but I'm not sure if I should get an alignment done on the 17's. The offset for the 19's was 45, which is the same as the stock 17's, but I put 20mm H&R spacers up front and 25mm's in the back to maintain that flush look. Based off the calculations, my rear rims are out 6mm further than the 19's were but now I'm on 215's instead of 225's, making my net "stance" 1mm wider than before. The front rims are 1mm out from before, so net -4mm front. Anyone out there with recommendations on if an alignment issue is needed,?

Especially when switching sizes. If you weren't changing rims, then I'd say no, but you are going with a completely different size rim and offset. Your car will greatly appreciate it if you get an alignment.
