Just wondering if the tracking will need doing after fitting new wheels. The tracking was done 2 months ago on the old 16's now have 17's fitted.

Thanks.

Wheels shouldn't have any effect on tracking at all. Any other work on front suspension, then tracking should be checked.

after changing wheels, it can take a while for the tyres to settle and lose the mould release agent etc before the feel 100%.

if it's feeling funny, leave it a week or so... then if its bad, get it checked. most places check for free but charge if you get it adjusted
