Steering Problem

I lowered my car on coilovers that has camber plates and had my stock factory wheels on. I had an alignment done the next day. Drives fine after being lowered. I then installed some 25mm wheel spacers and put some new wheels with new tires. So I went from some 16x6.5 with 205/55/16 tires (Stock RSX Wheels) to a 17x7 (DC5R Wheels) with 225/45/17s. Put the spacers due to the offset and I wanted the wheels to be flush with the body of the car. Now the car feels like it sways lightly from left to right at hwy speeds. I made sure I bought hub centric spacers and I torqued the spacers and wheel to spec. What could give it that feeling of lightly wanting to sway left to right at hwy speeds on the freeway? The new tires I bought I think has a softer sidewall, Lionhart LH5's. Could that be a problem? Am I running to wide of a tire? Do I need another alignment after the spacers?
