2022 C3 of the Year Finalist - Modified
Wheel Alignment
So, if switching from 225/70/R15 to 255/60/R15, are the front and wheel alignment specifications changed in any way? I noticed that later model C3's show slightly different alignment numbers, but not sure if that is related to the option 255 tires, or other factory changes in the later years?

select the alignment spec for your type of driving based on the chart below

In all honesty, the 255/60s MIGHT have a tad more rolling resistance than a 225/70, so you might be able to compensate with MAYBE .02* more static toe-in, but I wouldn't worry too much. I would think that your intended driving style, ie. "cruiser" compared to "charger" would be a greater consideration.
