Can't think of any reason why it will effect the tracking - but someone on here will probably contrdict me. But it will probably effect the accuracy of the speedo

Nothing changes,tyres are not as deep i.e. original tyres 215/45/17... new tyres say 225/40/18 225..215= width of tyre 40...45 depth of tyre 17..18 wheel size so bigger wheel smaller depth tyre 45 becomes 40 and this has no effect on the tracking or the speedo because the overhaul circumference has not changed and the wheels are still in line(tracking)
