If you didn't mess with your steering linkage then you should only need to add an EQUAL spacing to both bolts on either side. You need to find the alignment specs for your car. You can align it with a plumb-bob and a protractor... and google will probably help you out with a general DIY-alignment how-to. If you are just trying to get it good enough to drive to the alignment shop, just get it fairly straight up and down and call it a day... I think only incorrect toe-in will cause excessive tire wear for a short distance.
