I just changed my base to Badlands wheels and tires and no alignment. I did note however that the bottom rubber spacer pushed out the spare a little. Less tread on the stud for the lug to catch. Now I'm wondering if I need to trim it a little bit and how much?
I own a 2 door '22 Base, auto, with the 2.3 and pretty happy with it. Don't plan on doing much modifications ( just put on Badland wheels and tires ) and do some light off-roading only with my grandkids. Not a race car, but I got my Boss and my Z ,both stick.
I had the same experience twice. It went away after driving with glass down. I still can't figure where that shit smell comes from. Happened only twice when I parked in the sun for a couple of hours. I know it's not from the car wash because I pass it through regularly and nothing.
