new springs - alignment or wait for new tires?

I recently dropped my car just over an inch on eibach pro kit springs. I am told to get an alignment after a few days, which would be tomorrow basically to prevent wear and keep things in spec.

Thing is, I have been debating getting 18" or 19" ronjons and I hate to go out tomorrow and spend $90 on an alignment, only to come home and order ronjons this week which will need their own alignment and balance all over again next week.

What to do? Can I stay on my misaligned tires for a lil bit until I decide if I can afford the ronjons very soon?

the reason u would get an alignment would be to prevent camber wear and to keep stress off the lower region of ur car.....i think ull be fine since camber wear wouldn't be an issue if ur getting rims (new tires). but i think ull be fine if its only for a little bit...i wouldn't make a habit out of it. but u should look into a camber kit, for long term. or else ull have to align ur car often. correct me if im wrong..
