Also remember when you properly size your wheels your adding to both the inside and outside equally, thus negating the ever so slight added load on the outside.

How am I wrong exactly? The suspension pivots at the subframe correct? And the spring counteracts the force applied from the ground onto the wheel/tire? So by moving the point this normal force is applied to the system further away from the axis of rotation, then a larger torque is being applie, which thus requires a larger force to balance this. Springs increase their force applied by compressing, and since the suspension travels in an arc, then the camber would be affected by the increased spring compression and resulting ride height change. Bushings don't come into play at all to prove the offset affects the alignment.

I'm dropped on hotchkis, and asked if there will be a difference between him doing the allignment on my stock rims/tires or my 285 rear volk set up... and he told me it has nothing to do with tire...

oh o.... I might have to be carefull with my wear if that's the truth...

Correct. Tires have nothing to do with alignment.
