  When you go to a wider tire with a different center the load on suspension 
changes, which cases the height to change. This will change the camber and 
slightly change the toe. Also wider tires will handle diferently and a 
diferent alignment setting will probably be prefered.

If you change the wheel center you should realign the car.
