I know this is the ITR forum, but you guys are so **** about everything that I'm sure I'll get the response I want. I just aligned my civic after a full gsr suspension swap, currently have 205/40/r16 tires. I know part of the equation of toe adjustment is taking in to account the rolling diameter of the wheels. I have some 205/45/r16 pirellis waiting for me at discount tire, I know it only changes my rolling diamater by a few percent, but I have a feeling my toe is going to be off just enough now to start wearing my new tires funny. Basicly if you were me would you go get another alignment after getting a slightly taller tire? I wouldnt mind much, would allow me to **** with my ride hieght settings some more. Thanks

I dont believe this should affect your toe. Toe is the angle at which your wheels are pointing. 0 toe would mean your wheels were pointing straight ahead. I dont think tire size would change this. Someone correct me if Im wrong.

I'm fairly certain that I remember the equation for degrees of toe required rolling diameter in there some where. Damn THC

 

Well I think the change, if any, would be minimal. And if you are that worried about such a slight change, why not get it on the rack to know for sure and make sure its set to how you want it? Anytime you change wheels(especially size) and suspension its a good idea to check out your alignment. just my 2 cents

When you think about it, any little ride hieght change will affect toe, not directly, but ride hieght changes camber, which changes caster, which changes toe. I just need to know if this will be sever enough to wear my expensive new tires.

I deffinatly agree, just alittle poor right now, just put a b16 in one of my civics only to have it wrecked a week later.
