The width on your tires might be a factor due to the way the twin "I" beam pivots but it's basically a Camber problem I think. You need an alignment shop that has the equipment to bend the "I" beams to adjust it. A lot of places just set the toe in and don't do anything else.

If the front springs are sagging the ride height is lower than it should be and that makes camber is lower than it should be. IMHO replace the front springs before getting the alignment checked. They're not too expensive.
