Default Toe question

Will changing my wheels from 205/40/17 to 205/50/15 change my toe? or vice versa? I don't want to get another alignment.

Your tie will not change unless the hub position changes. It changes most drastically by the tie-rod length affecting its side-to-sid position, but also by changes in vertical position (based upon location of tie-rod and axle). So, if the overall circumfrence of these new tires is the same as the previous set, then the hub position will not change and hence the toe will not change.

Do a search to get a better explanation of what toe is.

Of course I know what toe is. I did do a search. Isn't that suppose to be the first thing you do before you post a new topic?

If you do a search and find out the answer to my question then please post the link to me since I'm too lazy to search and you're not. Thank you.
