Do I need an alignment??

Hey everyone, About 2-3 months ago I got my coilovers installed and I got an alignment, I was currently driving on my oem rims and the tires were worn out. I'm installing my new rims this weekend and i was wondering will I need to get another alignment? The rims are one size bigger than oem so 18" and the tires are obviously a different size. So will I need an alignment for this? Also I'm
Dropping the car a touch more. Any help will be appreciated thanks!

The toe will change, but better check your last alignment specs for camber setting. If at the max and you lower the car more, may need a camber kit.

You will need new tires very often or you will need to buy a camber kit.
