    put it all back together, but leave the lock nut loose for that tie rod, put the wheel back on then put the gar back on the ground, then turn the inner tie rod, this will move the wheel in or out.

    lock the steering wheel dead straight when you do this.

    or toss the new tires in the back seat and take them with you. i just had 4 tire and wheels once again in my back seat yesterday, fits nice.
    Will do thanks

    Hell we won't even do a front end alignment unless it's on a truck or other vehicle with no rear adjustments
    Does a 4 wheel alignment cost more? Not that it's an issue I just want to know what to expect.

    My tires are a bit smaller on my factory's than they should be I knew they were smaller but I wasn't gonna change them till they wore out, the specs I posted were straight off the tire.
