Default Will these tires fit?

ok, on the fronts right now i have 17 inch oem 02 Z06 wheels. they are wrapped in michelin pilot sports and are 245 45 17. they fit well. The car is lowered with stock shocks and DMS springs. The thing is that i got free pirelli p zero's and they are 245 50 17. Are these going to fit, will they rub?
Thanks for the help.

They will fit, they are 1" taller in OD than what you are running now, so depending on the size of your rear tires the diff of OD could get the ABS upset. . . . Will they rub?, possibly at full lock turns . . .

These are just for the front. the rears are a different size and will have the same tire mounted. my car is lowered though, will they rub on bumps and stuff? Also, will this look funny?
