So the new TSB says you have to return your vehicle to OEM wheels/tire sizes to get an alignment done.

My question is:

If you have aftermarket wheels (19") in my case, and you swap them back to OEM for an alignment, will it still be in alignment if you put the 19" back on? or Do you have to have the alignment done with the aftermarkets on for it to be accurate?

Another question:

Would the alignment specs be the same for the 19"s as the OEM?

One more question:

what are the latest alignment specs from Nissan?






p.s. thanks in advance for all the helpful info. I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!!!!

 

Since both Toe and Camber are angles (angle of toe-in and angle of lean), it follows that the size of the rims/tires would not affect either. So the theory is that once aligned, the size change won't throw off the alignment.

BUT, that assumes perfect wheels and tires, with identical perfect offsets... which is a big assumption. It would be better to align it with the actual config.

Disclaimer : I am not an expert and could be totally wrong. I am going on my limited knowledge of the angles involved.

 

I am a tech for twenty years and the spec wont change with the tire size

 

THANKS!
