Do a drop before the wheels come in?????

or wait until new wheels are on car then drop?

Not sure if this will impact alignment since I'm currently running
my 17's winter set up? Meaning, do I need to have the 20's on
to get the most accurate alignment.

I've done other cars before "wheels" and also after new wheels have
been installed.

What's your take.

For the record..lol.. looks like I'll go with TEIN Type BASIC for my
drop.

Drop before wheels, and when wheels come in, install and get an alignment

drop the car first, so as to let it settle, get an alignment, then put the wheels on

or

drop the car first, allow for it to settle, put the wheels on, and get an alignment right after
