Default front end negative camber

hi so i had 285/65 on factory 20s and i came accross some rims with a bit of an offset at the dump the other day . they were pretty cheap so i bought them and put some old khumos offroad tires on them . theyre 35/12.5/18 it made the ram look the way i wanted with the wheels stickin out the fenders by about an inch roughly. but after a few drives i noticed a pretty good negative camber on the front wheels(or toe out not quite sure) i looked at all the parts in the front end everything seems solid and in place. i put the smaller wheels back on and cambers gone.. i wonder if it is simply an alignment issue or could it be the tires themself? they re worn out uneven i was just gonna use them to go trailin and stuff. might be a stupid question but i tought id ask . thanks

If the tires are worn uneven, that is likely what you are seeing. Could put the 'new' tires/wheels on, and have alignment checked, just to be sure.
