Upgrading to 19" wheels, good idea to get another alignment?

I just got an alignment less than 2 months ago after install Swift springs. I'm thinking of upgrading to 19x9 and 19x10 wheels soon. Would it be wise to get another alignment after installing the new wheels/tires?

Is there anything else I will need to modify since the tires will be about 1.5" wider than stock?

Thanks!

No alignment necessary. And as long as the offsets are not too aggressive you shouldnt have to do anything else.

Always a good idea to get an alignment every 6 months.

Never know when you're gonna need it until your sneakers are shredded

Especially if your roads are total crap, seems to be a more common thing everywhere
