Default ft end alignment ?

i've replaced the wheels and tires on my 08 gt with 18x9, 255-45-18s and 18x10, 285-40-18s. i'm planing on using the k-springs (1.5" drop) front and rear.
with this combination, will i need to have the front end re-set, or will it still be with in alignment?

You should gain a bit of neg. camber, but not sure how much. If you are real concerned with getting the most of your tires in terms of wear, you will need to correct alignment a small amount.

You cannot adjust the neg. camber via the struts, so you can install a camber bolt that will give you the adjustment you need to square the tires up.

Camber adjustment bolts
