Cincinnati Alignment Help
This past weekend i installed the SPC camber/toe bolts, took it to a shop to get it aligned and they tried to pull a fast one on me!
They aligned the car for stock 18" wheels, but i have 19" wheels and the alignment was not correct. then they said they could not align it since it have aftermarket wheels on it, i was so pi$$ed off! My camber is so whacked now i feel like the car is ice skating. Does anyone know of a shop on the West Side that has the ability to align a car with 19" wheels?
This was Firestone on Glenway BTW...
I did not pay for anything there either, just walked out with my keys.

If you have a wheel/tire combo that is basically the same outside diameter as the 18's then it won't change the alignment specs. The reason that they told you they can't do it is when you put the car's info into the alignment machine there is no choice for 19 inch wheels for your year. That doesn't mean that it can't be done!

i dont see why they can not get the stock measurements/settings with that size wheels. there are 13094832409 people with aftermarket wheels that have the correct alignment!

bum out! i had zero problems getting my car aligned when i had my volks (which were 19").
Bring it to a different shop and have them check it out. If there is a Tire Discounters in your area have them do it, they are used to odd wheel sizes on cars
