New tire size, do I need to make any suspension/alignment changes?

You would only need alignment changes if you alter the height of the vehicle as this will change the camber/caster/toe. I would suggest lowering it though.... Not sure what offsets

I would suggest lowering it though.... Not sure what offsets you are rocking with the new wheels but either way you may want to lose the wheel well gap that will be exaggerated with the new wheels.

Even a 1 inch drop you should have no problem having a good alignment shop bring the specs back within the stock range for camber and toe and it will look a lot better with that slight drop.
