If you get the alignment back into spec, your tires should be fine.

Look for the huge swift springs review thread. It'll answer your questions in details and probably give you more ideas.

Depending on how low you drop and how far you push out may determine if you are able to get your wheels back to spec. SPC Upper control arms and Rear Camber links are a pretty good investment because you have soo much adjustability for positive/negative camber and (caster) front and rear.
