And less clearance on your car's wheel wells than the stock tires have, due to the height.

Your car doesn't need to clear the snowdrift, your tires need to stick enough for you to push through. Less than a half-inch won't help, I'd worry more about clearance on your wheel wells for your snow tires, especially with lowered suspension.
