So my 3 questions are should I get a wheel alignment when i put these on or will they be ready to rock when i get them. My second question is im thinking about getting 30mm spaces for the rear being these are 9.5 all the way around. Will this affect my alignment, tow ect. And lastly the current tires i have on are wearing much faster in the rear could the tow have something to do with this and can i change this or does a tire shop have to change this?
Thanks guys

My experience when i swap out summer wheels for winter is that it isn't necessary to do an alignment unless there was already an alignment issue beforehand.
I use 20mm for my rear winter setup tires (similar to yours - 20's @ 9.5 all-around) no issues with alignment etc...if you're experience abnormal tire wear, you can adjust the camber settings but if you're not familiar with this then have it diagnosed at dealer or qualified indy.
Very smart on your part to get dedicated snow tires for your winter setup
