I personally don't like the raised look, and having to get the car aligned afterwards. But if it benefits underneath the car better and makes the front end less like a shovel, I will be happy and consider it.
This is how the car sits now with the winter wheels and tires:
Any personal opinions regarding your car and what you do would be great.
*If your state does not get snow, please don't respond.*  
If you're only raising or adjusting the height slightly, you shouldn't need to get an alignment. The only thing it will effect is the camber, and only slightly, and camber doesn't ruin tires unless it's very very extreme. Caster and toe are the tire ruiners, and they won't be effected by changing the height.
