Yes! It's best to get an alignment done whenever you get new tires.

NEVER fill to the psi marked on the tire. Instead, open the driver's side door and look at the plate in the door jam. It says right there. Or read the fscking manual. Adjust a couple of psi (+ or -) to your own handling and comfort preferences.

thing in the door only lists info on the the stock tires/ rims so does the manual.

Since i got bigger tires/rims it doesnt list those.

PSI is pounds per square inch. It's independent of your tire size. 30 psi on 18" rims is the same as 30 psi on 15" rims.

There's not really any need to do that. Alignments adjust your suspension. Unless you notice a problem, such as your steering being way off center when you're going straight, save yourself the money.
