I've never seen or used an alignment tool. Apparently it's not needed with Vintage wheels. I did experience one issue on my rear hubs - I had to shorten the lugs so they do not bottom inside on the studs. If not cut sufficiently to avoid bottoming they may cock slightly when torqued. I had one or two that ended up like that but after a quick pass with a grinder they torqued down fine and the wheels slid on fine. They do fit snuggly however - not any slop in the fit.
