New z06 wheels

I just bought some z06 wheels which are 265/50/17 front and 290/50/18 rear. They are going on my daily driver Pontiac firebird formula. I was wondering what i should expect in terms of fitting problems.?

You'll need a big set of air shocks to jack the **** end of the car sky high and then you'll be ready to go mud-bogging.

Be sure to post pictures.
