Allignment ?

I just had the front end suspension re-built and got bigger wheels as well, I want to get the RS alligned but I wanted to ask first if the front end alignment setting is the same for 16" wheels and 17" wheels? My Rs is stock height w/ 17 X 8 IROC wheels. Would this be the correct setting:
Caster = L +4 R +4.5
Camber = L -.5 R -.5
Toe (in) = 3/32

Wheel size shouldn't make a difference.

wheel size makes no difference. but overall tire diameter does. the taller a tire the less toe in needed. in the overall scheme of things, the original tire size is 25.7" diameter. you can go about 1" taller/shorter and won't need to change toe any. the specs that you posted are fine to use.
