Does it make a diff which wheels I get an alignment with?
I wanted to ask if it makes a difference which set of wheels I have my alignment done with?
I just put coilovers on and want to have the car aligned with my 17's because I don't trust the shops and would rather have them "accidentally scratch" those (if that happens, which it shouldn't) as opposed to my 19's.
Does it make a difference? Or should I have the car aligned with the 19's on?
Thanks!!!

Well I don't have camber kits... So the camber is what it is, right? Regardless of which wheels are on and what their offsets are, the camber is going to be what it's going to be... Right?
I read that the most important thing is that the toe's are dead on. I figure that it doesn't make a difference as to which wheel is on the car to get this set properly. Or am I wrong?

Not necessarily, two different alignment shops I've been to in the past use a tool that goes in the space between the wheel and the tire. I agree that it's not the best solution if you care about your wheels and the stud-mounted tools sound like they would be even more accurate.

It doesn't matter whther the adapter attaches to the studs or is a wheel clamp, or if the tires are bald or stretched as the camber is a specific dgree of angle and none of the above will affect that angle. A change in wheel offset will to some degree, although minimal. Ever see cars/trucks with reversed wheels that were utilized years ago? As the center of the tires were moved outwards quite far, the tires tilted in quite a bit at the top and caused too much negative camber because the wheel/tire centerline moved outwards and caused the change in camber.
