No, it's because you need an alignment.

For proper alignment you should have identical size tires/wheels on front.

Same size on all four if you want it done properly.

The important thing is to have the stance and the tires the way they are going to permanently be before you get it aligned. The rear tires can be larger, but they need to stay that way during and after the alignment.
