Default Alignment for my C5 but different wheel setup

Going to go for a four wheel alignment and since C5's usually come 17x8.5 and 18x9.5 should I make sure they know I now have 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 wheels on the car.

Basically do they need to change their specs for the alignment based on the change in wheel tire combo ? Still learning about this car after only a month of ownership. Getting a road force balance also.

Thanks, Tom

Wheel size has no affect on alignment settings.

Okay so I don't need to say anything to them before they start I guess.
