How would changing the wheel/tire size change the angle, which is dependent only on the amount of sprung weight (all else being constant)? i.e. a larger diameter tire would end up raising not only the wheel hub, but the whole vehicle. Beyond that, tire/wheels size changes are almost always done so that the rolling radius stays very close to stock. So - not even a change in how far the hub center is from the ground.
