Wheel alignment question.....

HI. I have a 2003 Echo with the 15" wheels. The tire size is P185/60-15. I am going to be changing tires to 205/55R 15. My question is, when I get my front wheels aligned (right after buying tires) will the "normal" specs on the alignment for the stock P185's work for the new 205's, or does the alignment need to be "offset" somehow? I asked Toyota service dept. about this, and the guy there didn't sound too sure in his answer. He said, no, the stock alignment will be good since they are aligning wheels, not tires (?). Can some resident "expert" straighten this question up?

Thanks in advance.

Jack

He's right. You are aligning the wheels not the tires.
