I would recommend you install the new rims/tires and then go get an alignment and see if they are able to adjust if you have any negative camber.

It mainly depends on what your suspension set up is, if you have sway bars, coilovers/springs, how much you are dropped, that type of deal. Every car is different. If you have negative camber, that is easily fixed by adding washers to the trailing arm bolted to the sub frame.

As for the front, that can be adjusted by the lower control arm as well, but to an extent.

If you have over -3° of camber, then a camber kit would be needed in order to adust properly, but have the alignment shop give you the specs of the camber/toe adjustment and such.
