Default Changed wheels, Alignment?

So for the background, I last aligned my car when I lowered and put on my RPF-1's (18x9.5/10.5 +15). I have spl rear camber arms and spc toe bolts but OEM Front UCA. I set the alignment to -2 all around camber and 0 toe in the front and a tad in, in the rear. I then put my winter wheels on (OEM G35 18") with tires that I plan on changing so I neglected to get it re-aligned. After probably 4000 miles it got quite a bit of (what I think is) toe out wear. The worn area is on the inside of the tire

NOTE : My RPF-1s wore perfectly fine after ~7k miles or so

I know that this is due to different offsets, tire sizes, etc. My question is, from your experience, should I get my car re-aligned now that I have put my RPF-1's back on? I have not changed the height of the car or anything. From my eye, the camber seems to be fine but it's hard to tell if toe is okay by eye.

I understand that the best way to tell is to get it done but I don't want to have to pay ~$70 for them to say my alignment has not changed from last year. I'll be keeping my eye on it periodically to see if there is any abnormal wear but any help from past experiences would be nice.
