Probably a stupid question but do alignment settings need to be adjusted based on tire profiles? I have a recommended set of alignment settings from the competition forum that should provide a decent balance between track/autoX/dd. But if I add negative camber to a wider wheel should I lessen the degree then what would be recommended for a skinnier tire?

Here's the recommendation I pulled of the comp. forum:

Front Camber -1.0 Left, -1.0 Right
Front Caster 6.6 Left, 6.9 Right
Front Toe 0.03 Left, 0.04 Right
Front Cross Camber 0.0
Front Cross Caster -0.3
Front Total Toe 0.06

Rear Camber -1.2 Left, -1.2 Right
Rear Toe 0.08 Left, 0.08 Right
Rear Total Toe 0.15
Thrust angle 0.00

I'm keeping to equal sizes on all axles so I can rotate and keep treadware from the negative camber from being too severe but feel it's worth it to get that little bit of extra uumph on the track and dodging cones. Just don't know if I should change anything around for the wider specs. FWIW I'll have 245w rcomps and 275w street to start with and I'm thinking my streets will wear even more unevenly than the track tires with that much negative camber.

Might get an alignment tomorrow with my new wheels or I might wait until next weekend. Depends entirely on whether or not the guys mounting the tires seem competent enough to do a custom alignment.
