Yes for inner/outer wheel well and fender clearance, that would probably be need to be sorted before/during an alignment. But over all toe/camber/caster is not effected by wheel width or offset. Go live your life in peace stance people, I for one could care less as long as you're happy and no ones getting hurt. |

And since he didn't say what size he was getting they were being helpful by mentioning that putting them on before alignment would definetly be a good idea. For someone who "don't really care", you sure seem to be getting worked up over this. And yes, while the OP didn't ask about rubbing, that fact that he is changing wheels makes it a good point to bring up considering the plethora of people who don't even consider that problem. |

Take it back, pay for another $150 alignment with the new wheels and be $150 poorer. A Mercedes alignment with factory wheels is a superior alignment, we have special heads that install through the wheels and do not require compensation. Even with a rolling comp you can have some variance. We often have goofy rear camber/toe readings on vans with solid rear axles. Not an issue on Toyota/Subaru, you'll have clamp on heads no matter what. I'm grateful to have a very expensive alignment system at my disposal. Makes tweaking and modifying that much easier. |

This was in response to the two people who decided to jump down my throat about letting stance/hardparkers live their lives. It seems like everyone just assumes people hate on that particular area of car modifying and automatically has their backs up against the wall when someone points something out. |

I said nothing about this "stance/hardparker" fitment you speak of. You just automatically assume, "ohh, its not standard this dude is all about the tilty wheels." I stated specs that are well known and accepted throughout the industry; circuit cars, auto cross, HPDE among others mostly run camber in the -2*ish. There is something about those cars that say they would want the most functionality they can get. |

I was pointing out differences in alignments between varied expectations. If -3* left and -2.6* right front camber gets you “flush” and that’s the look you’re going for, by all means run it. Generally, an alignment gives adjustments to a determined spec. For some people that isn’t the desired result. I have absolutely no problem with that. I try to help out on these alignment threads, I do a handful of them a week, and have been for 15 years. Alignments are one of those mystery things that a lot of techs are even afraid of. When I got in to cars you were called a hardparker if you didn’t drift on the way to work and run over your “aero” on a regular basis. I don’t mean it in any disparaging way. |
