YES! Although if doing larger wheels/tires at the same time, it may not be too out of whack. The largest effect is going to be seen in the Toe-In (ask how I know). Camber will be affected, but depending on wheels/tires it may or may not be extreme. Case in point: Tein S-Techs and 18x8 wheels w/225/40 tires was a perfect -1.7* on each side after settling, but it DESTROYED the stock 15" wheel/tire combo on the inside tread up front in a matter of a few weeks.
