they had no problem with our golf, no. the golf has coilovers, so i had it set where i normally drive it (and my dad), which is no fender gap.
got right up, even with the r32 front. most racks have a pretty subtle approach if they're modern, and if they were to have an issue, there's ways around it (they have helper sheets of metal).
i too installed a new wheel and found it off on my new setup, so i explained to them that. they dialed in the car with equal toe and camber both sides.
there's not much to do in the back unfortunately, but in terms of the front end alignment, i was happy. they actually give a 90-day warranty on the alignment, so they will make it right. in my case, i have to go back as one of the ball joints is failing, and will need to be replaced.
i asked them to place plastic on the seats, a mat on the floor, and fresh gloves on the hands, and they obliged. to my surprise, the car was just as clean as it was before. my dad might not know all i do about cars, but he can keep 'em clean.
i still think tires plus is the best, but around here, i'd have to reccomend pepboys. best alignment i've gotten in new haven/fairfield county so far.
if i had a rack, i'd offer to do it, but a rack requires a garage, which i don't have yet.
i'm assuming your tie rods are in good shape, if so, should be a walk in the park.
some rain today, eh steve? i'm not gonna lie, i threw on a poncho, grabbed the simple green and a sponge, and washed the white car.
