Default Alignment Question...

I recently had my SPC camber kits put in along with 205/55/16 winter tires(yes I know thats not the correct size but its all Tire Rack had)and had a 4-wheel alignment
of course, me being in PA and having an SH, the idiots didnt align it right(they dont know how to reset the steering wheel angle sensor) and it still pulls to the right
but thats not my question lol

I have 17" Rotas coming in soon and the tires are all ready here

my car is a bit too low and if I go over big bumps and dips the camber kit/control arm or whatever it is hits the top of the fenders in the front
so Im going to raise it up and take it to Honda and have it done right.....I hope

my first question:

Does a Honda dealership know how to adjust the camber kits???

my second question:

Since they'll be aligning it with the 205/55/16's, will the alignment be thrown off when I put on the Rotas with the proper size 215/40/17's?

Im really concerned about #2 though
I have all ready spent close to $400 in alignments in the 1 year I have owned the lude

TIA

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html for future reference.

The only factors that affects camber changes are compression of the spring/shock when compressed on a road surface, (the camber change is negative). And lowering the vehicle. So if you get any alignment with the 205/55/16 and then put on the 215/40/17 in the future the camber angle should remain the same.

I THINK, now I'm thinking of conflicting thoughts.

well if you have a bigger wheel or different high then the camber will be off. but probably not by much
