Default maracuja is right if you dont want your nice wheels to get scratch leave the 16's...

but some places uses a rubber clamp to grab the wheels (old school uses pointed metal that can scratch the lip of the wheels) when i had my alignment done the tech told me to put the wheels that i would use the most so he can accurately adjust the camber/toe per the wheel im using. good luck
