can u even do the alignment with oversized tires mounted on?

i have 2 sets of rims. one set of phonies with 215/60/16 with crappy tires i don't care about. they're 5% too big on traveling circumference.

the correct rims are running 205/55/16 225/50/16 staggered.

i dont' really want to mount on the good rims cause it's still 30 degrees out and i don't wanna kill the tires.


so...if i align with the oversize tires, will the alignment still be correct for the correct size tires?

Tires size should have no effect on alignment.

It will impact ride heights if there is a difference between front and rear. However most alignment shops don't mess with ride heights.

The alignment heads go on the rim's.

There would be an alignment difference if you had wheels with incorrect offset, but there isn't a lot the shop could do about it anyway.

How would a different offset affect alignment...??

I guess it wouldn't affect static alignment, only dynamic and handling. Never mind!
