Oversized Wheel Alignment?

I bought some Saleen 23" wheels and tires off ebay, and I will get my truck aligned before I put these on but the one place around me that can align a 23" wheel says that there needs to be a large wheel lip for the heads to fit. From what I can tell, these don't have a large lip.



Other than switching wheels to align, is there any good way to do this?

From what I've found, none of the big chains (NTB, Firestone, Sears) can align bigger than a 20" wheel.

Just get it aligned with the stock wheels and tires. Changing wheel size has nothing to do with the alignment itself.

That's the plan for now, just wondering what I should do in the future if I need the alignment? (Planning to sell stock wheels and tires)

With those size wheels, you will probably have all kinds of trouble finding a place to do an alignment. You just may have to swap back and forth to do the alignments when needed.

You better keep your oem wheels or at least buy a cheap set of oem wheels for alignments.
