I just put new ones on mine today and I dint have to adjust them. Just make sure ur front tire's are straight.

yeah but will it matter if im a little off or do the tyres have to be completely parrallel?

Ok
Start by puting a piece of tape in the midle of each front tyre, measure it to find the midle and mark it... this will be youre reference point.
Rotate each tyre mark to the front so you can measure the distance betewen them... Now rotate marks to the rear ( measurement tape will go trough the frame near the exaust ) and measure again.
You will have to match front and rear measures.. Ex: my blaster is 38.6 inchs
max diference should not be more then 0.5in.

DONT forget to tighten verything up when done. Be safe and have Fun.

Enjoy hope this will help.

I forgot to say....

All this has to be done with the front tyres of the ground )

You can also look up for a Blaster manual, its all there with pictures for better understanding, thats how i started out.
