I would opt to realign the car if I made any changes to the suspension. 4 wheel alignment. I had it done when I changed tire size, but that one is obvious. Better safe than sorry. The thought of unnessasarily wearing out $350 tires that can't be rotated makes me cringe.

You can rotate directional tires. Front to back on the same side. After doing that a couple times, you can have the tires from the left side mounted on the rims from the right side and vice-versa.

True, but I don't think I want to put my 18's on the front and 17's on the rear. DOH!

Yes, get it aligned. It will now hold the alignment you set even better.
