It shouldnt since the alignment is made to vehicle specs so long as you keep the ratio the same i.e. the tire profile size

"No such thing as a dumb question, just dumb answers" - said a wise man I once knew.

Then I discovered he was impersonating a professor at M.I.T. so ironically an imposter he was.

Ok, back on subject completely...your setup should be fine.
