...I'm not sure how exactly you mean angled outwards - on the vertical plane or the horizontal plane?
If you're referring to the wheels being angled outwards on the vertical plane, you should expect a little negative camber (where the top of the tire is angled inward) just a little bit more than stock. From a performance perspective, some (not a lot) of negative camber is desireable. As long as you rotate them regularly this shouldn't kill the life of the tire.
Keep an eye on how your tires are wearing. If you feel they're wearing heavily on the inside, it might be worth buying and installing Eibach's camber adjustment kit.
A couple other things: Did you install new shocks with your springs? Shocks (such as Bilstein Sports) that are better matched to the Eibachs may make a little positive difference with your camber. And finally, I noted that it took a few weeks for my Eibach springs to "break-in" after installing them on my 9-5.
Hope these comments help.
Cheers
