different rim width and offset, an aligment is also needed in order for the car to run properly, correct? TIA.

I'm leaning towards incorrect...
Most certainly offset changes some aspects of geometry up front (in regards to steering), but I don't think those can be adjusted by an alignment.

Camber is an angle; pushing the wheel farther out the wheel well doesn't change its angle :)
However, since we all have negative camber to one degree or another, a lower ET would mean the tire is a bit closer to the top of the wheel well. Other than that though there shouldn't be anything different related to camber.
