Old thread, I know.

This. Alignment can go out of whack at any time, and new springs settle, which can cause alignment to go out of spec. If the OP didn't have it re-checked a few weeks after after having the wheels and springs installed, this is on him, IMHO.
Anything other than OEM specs -- even something as small as a few millimeters of offset, caused by a new wheel, spacers, shorter springs, etc. -- will require a different alignment spec. Even a small difference in rolling circumference and contact patch profile -- like, say, a Plus 1 conversion to 19"s, combined with a stretched sidewall profile (either convex or concave) -- can make a difference in the geometry of the suspension.
