Does this require an alignment?

My drivers front wheel was replaced after being warped for 1500 miles, and I got R888R put on all wheels(stock front size, up 1 size width on rear). I don't know what the factory alignment is...

It's a standard ZL1 and I don't track it at all. Just hard launches on dig nights and aggressive street driving. Guy at firestone made it seem like it was the worst alignment he had ever seen. 12.5k miles on the car, 6k since last alignment. Just want to make sure it's not so bad that my tires wear more quickly than they need to.

It would help to see the wear on the previous set of tires. If I dropped over $1,500 on new tires with that alignment then I would probably spend the extra $100 to get it aligned. Be sure the shop that does the alignment uses new bolts on the rear as they are TTY and one-use only.

The last set of tires were worn all the way down the night before. I basically made them slicks haha. I wanted Firestone to do the alignment, but they told me they can't(won't?) replace the TTY bolts on the rear. The dealership didn't do it last time I got an alignment so I bought the bolts for it this time around. It's just hard to trust the dealerships sometimes...

You should get a 4 wheel alignment when you buy new tires to keep the wear even.��
