Tires, alignment, maybe some 3mm wheel spacers?

Finishing up a bunch of suspension work and I need an alignment. Bonus points if the place also does tire mounting/balancing. More bonus points if the actually sell tires likes hankook rs2 or toyo ra-1s. Super bonus if they got some 3-5mm wheel spacers. Mega points if they're close to Berkeley. Crazy mega bonus plus extra life if they have decent prices on all that.

I realized I'm probably making a couple different trips, but what do people here say for any of that?

Stock rs wheels with 225/50/16s or r-comps tend to rub the inside of the strut... sometimes. A 3mm spacer usually does the trick and doesn't kill the bearings and leaves plenty of thread engagement.

ps> that skid plate works great. No mashed parts at the last rallyX. thanks again.
