Wider wheels & alignment
Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question, but:
In reading some of the members' posts about wider rims, drops, camber kits, and so on, I've gotten a little confused: will adding wider wheels but NOT dropping my car throw off my alignment in any way? Is the camber, etc. affected by JUST adding wider wheels without any lowering?

Rep Power: 416 nope, you can get wider/bigger wheels and the alignment will stay the same as before you put them on...
wheels dont effect alignment, n yes this includes camber

I would be best if you get a new wheel and tire set up to get the alignment done.
most places will do this if you get the set up from them.
This way from the start you are sure that the alignmet is correct and you jack a new set of rubber. It is a little insurance/assurance policy when getting new tires.
But do what you like.
