Should I need an alignment after...
Should I need an alignment after putting on new wheels? Ever since the new wheels it seams by gas is being eating faster, and my steering wheel wobbles after I apply the brakes. I went from ws6 wheels to Z06 wheels that are wider. Can anyone help? thanks

My Nitto 555's(on stock ws6 rims) wore on the outer shoulder faster on the front. Is this from alignment or just wide tires? I'm putting on new wheels(8.5X19 + 9.5X19) and nittos soon and wondering if it will need alignment.

Yes you have an alignment issue, get it fixed before you eat up another set of tires.

You are right to a degree. Toe does play a big factor in wearing out the edges. If it is toe you will usually get a feathered edge to the tread on the tires also. You need an alignment though. Wheels shouldn't change the alignment one bit.
