Question Alignment Questions

I have a 1976 911S and my book tells me what the Camber, Caster and Toe should be. But I imagine this is for 6J X 15 rims.

My problem is that I have 7.5 X 17 on the front and 9 X 17 rear now.

Will the alignment details be different and if so does anyone know what they should be now with the larger tires???

Frank:

Alignment settings do not vary with wheel size, only how the car is used,...

Use the Factory specs and add some camber to that unless you are focused on maximizing tire life. The amount of additional camber will depend on what tradeoffs you are willing to make for additional grip in corners.

G'day Steve,
Thanks very much for the information. I'll set it at standard and then see what happens.
