Default 2IS Not Tracking Straight

First time posting, bear with...

I just bought two new rear tires because I had a piece of metal in my right rear. I went to a local tire shop and I bought 235's to go with the 215's in the front. I originally had planned to take my car to America's Tire Company because I've always had great experiences with them. But I learned that I had 215's all the way around, even though 2IS's are supposed to be rated 255 all the way around. So they wouldn't even put my car on the lift and inspect it for liability reasons.

I bought my car back in March, and I think the reason there were 215's on it was so that they would fit with the Eibach springs they put on it. I now have coils and it's dropped. They still fit fine.

Ever since I had the new rears installed, my car's so hard to keep in a straight line. It's a pain in the ***, it's so frustrating driving my car on the freeway. Just wondering if you guys think I should get an alignment even though I just bought two new tires instead of four?? Or could it be my coilovers?? Maybe they're not the same height all the way around?? or is it because I have two different size tires?? I didn't think it would be an issue. The guy at the tire shop certainly didn't have an issue with them when he sold them to me.

Thanks in advance

First thing first, you can easily get 225/40 and 255/40 tires on the stock wheels with Eibach lowering springs.

Second, make sure your lug nuts are tight and that everything is buttoned up tight (suspension components/bolts/nuts)

Third, time for an alignment (especially if you've never gotten one after the Eibach install).
