That's the beauty of homebrewing. You can do whatever the heck you want. Worst thing that happens is that it isn't good and you learn from the experience. That being said, make sure what you want to do will complement the base beer so you can avoid ending up with a dumper.
The lighter colored the ale,the lighter the body,generally. So the lighter the malt,the less pungent you'd want the spices to be. Maybe ad some citrus zest as well to brighten them up a bit.
Obviously, it's theoretically possible, but I've never had a beer that would be improved by the addition of spices. For most beers, I don't think you can add spices without adversely affecting the flavor of the beer.
