Another Alignment Question

I've called around to a few shops today and they've told me that only the dealer can align these cars because of air ride suspension. Most people don't have the software to simulate what the air suspension does. They also told me that once the dealer aligns the car it shouldn't matter if I have the 18's or the 22's on, it will stay aligned. Is this true?

Yes.

Any car will "stay aligned" until either

-you have an accident
-suspension parts wear out

This doesn't mean the "feel" won't change when you install oversize wheels/tires for which the car was not designed.
