I agree, this post makes zero sense.

Changing your wheels and tires do not change your vehicles alignment.....regardless of what question you were trying to ask.

I am wondering if the alignment will be more precise with 4 spare (doughnut) wheels and tires on the car

I guess he is asking will the wheel alignment be more accurate since the donut tires are thinner, therefore placing the alignment equipment closer to the point of measurement.

It makes no difference.

I always have my car aligned with half a tank of gas and the driver's seat with 150 pounds in it.

I like to comb my hair before I get my car aligned but that's just me.

Honestly, if you are super concerned with having the alignment as perfect as can be, putting weights in the driver's seat to mimic you, the driver, is the cheapest/best way to do it. Some dealerships will do it (I've heard from a few BMW does it) but most don't.

Unless you're driving a high speed race car, just align the fricken thing.
