staggered alignment
It's been over a month since I got the 19's with staggered setup. The car feels great up up 75 mph. After that it pulls a little. I'm taking it in for an alignment this weekend. Is there any problems aligning wheels with the staggered setup? It doesn't seem logical the car can be set to oem specs. Do they compromise, get it as close as possible? Please tell me what to expect. Thanks.

Kidding us right? You didn't get it aligned when you bought them? That's an expensive tire decision. 19s will work. Someone decent will get the alignment close to stock geometry. Must be weird driving mostly on the inside section of your tires.

For instance I went from the stock 17's to 18's and my car does not require an alignment. An alignment is absolutely required when the suspension geometry is changed such as upgrading the shocks/suspenion (e.g going from the stock suspension to the L-tuned or coilovers)

Usually, I get an alignment 2 times a year or anytime before I get new tires. I had an alignment done in Sept. The car did not feel out of alignment so I didn't think I needed it. Actually, it feels better since I wrote this post.
All I wanted to know from my cl mates was their experience getting alignments with staggered wheels.

staggered alignment
I did go to JMLexus and the car rides much better. It needed an alignment more than I thought. Also got it for free. Here's the story. Got to the dealer at 1:30 for oil change and alignment. Walked a block to eat, hung out in the showroom taking pics, played around on the net. I then realized it had gotten to be 4:00. I asked about my car and got no answer. I walked to the back and the mechanic said he would get to mine soon. I walked aroung but didn't see my car. It's now after 5:00 and no one knows where my car is, they said it's probably being test driven. For over an hour?!!! The technician had parked the car in an unusal place and forgotten about it (out of sight, out of mind). They did not charge me after making me wait so long. Next time I'll stay around the service dept so they won't forget me.
