Default Quick alignment question...
Hi there, I just replaced my lower CA's and want to get an alignmet done. Does it matter what the wheel and tire size are when the alignment is done?
I run 205/55R16 winters and 235/45R17 summers. When I take the car in should I have the summers or winters on? And do they need to know that the summers/winters have a significant difference in width before they do the alignment?
Thanks!

Wheels/tires don't matter on alignment per Reggie.

No. Alignment is performed at the hub.

Default just make sure...
just make sure your tires are evenly worn, or don't be surprised when your car pulls after alignment due to this.
