Why have the alignment done with the 17's on?
I would think you'd want it aligned with the new wheels on. The rear has some camber adjustment iirc, so I want my 19's on when the alignment is done so they can tweak the camber and keep me from rubbing.

New lip and inner rim.... same center piece.
Lip was reduced, inner rim was increased. Still 8.5" width overall. They have stock on those pieces. Plus, they were aware of it beforehand. But yeah, it was fast.

A couple reasons;
They can't accomodate 19's. And, there's no necessity to have the alignment done with the HRE's. I only do alignment with suspension upgrades. I also have found that even that changes it very little. The suspension on these cars is amazing. I had Coilovers installed and adjusted them 3-4 times w/o doing alignment for 1K's of miles, and yet, still... the tire wear was almost perfectly even (slightly more wear on the inside edge).
