Alignment Specs for Lowered & Larger size tires

On my new Wheel & Tire combo I am running 275/35/18 in the front & a 295/35/18 in the rear. Getting the tires mounted & balanced right isn't a problem but the car is also lowered about 1.5". How do I go about getting the car aligned close to whatever stock specs are? I bought some pretty good tires that I hope I could get some good miles out of and I don't want to see them disintegrate.

I have read and looked into it a little bit, and what I think happens is that a tire place could work the stock specs into some math formula to adjust to whatever it is I have done. Does anyone know of any specialty places to do this kind of stuff? I have a few suspension pieces done as well but they aren't adjustable.

I need help! I want this done right! Last time I had this done with my 17x9.5 & 17x11's the mechanic said he couldn't do an alignment on the wheels because the rears were so wide, and over the years I learned that its BS, and it is possible because there are factory cars out there with staggered width sizes.
