Front end toe in with bigger tires

Has anyone tried to tweak the front end alignment after installing bigger wheels and tires? I'm wondering if the stock alignment spec is appropriate?

Also, what tire pressures are you running?

I found the tire specs for the Pulse model -- 175/55R15 on 5Jx15 (front), 195/50R15 on 6.5Jx15 (rear) 26/32 psi.

I found the Passion alignment specs here, but I can't find the Pulse toe-end specs - I'm curious if they are different.

195/50s on 15x6s all the way around -didn't change anything but the tire pressures (28 front, 34 rear) and it has been working fine.

I am running 16X7s and I have not tried to adjust the toe in on the front. My wheels are aligned (when I brought it into do a tire rotation) There is still that same look on the back (it supposed to be like that) A lowering job in the back was performed about 6 months ago...
