P275/40R17's Too Big on '95 Z?

I ordered a set of SLP 10-spokes, just wondering how the P275/40R17 tires that I'm going to have to get will look on a '95 Z. Any problems with rubbing? Will these tires stick outside of the fenders? Appearance-wise, how will these wheels/tires look as compared to the stock salad shooter 16's?

They look much better then the little stock size wheels, the wider the tire the cooler the look I had 315s on the rears, oh man did it look sweet.

It should be a good match. You may want to pick up a set of jounce spacers for the rear to prevent overtravel of the axle shock reaction, since I've seen that the bigger wheels and tires could end up rubbing under hard bumps.

Otherwise you will be fine. I know a few z owners that went up in the tire and wheel size with no visible problems.
