Something off with alignment and/or aftermarket parts that make wheel rub at full lock imho are relative rarity. After all, despite one may think from all the modding threads in this forum, in reality majority owners drive car stock and are not in this forum, at most changing some unimportant interior bits like eg. shift knob. Different/wide wheels and tires might be way more common then alignment/aftermarket suspension parts caused issues, i wouldn't get too set on it.
That being said, as i've wrote before, having alignment done at least once imho is worth in general, be it new car, or bought used. For example, uneven and even slight toe out in rear made my car (completely stock at that point, including alignment how it went out of factory) a bit too nervous driving on ice/snow, as it tended to always slide to one side when tires slipped under gas, and i needed to drive nervously/carefully often to "catch" slide with countersteer. Getting toe even and slight toe-in in rear allowed me to just drive. Even if tires slipped, car kept going straight.
