Default Wheel Replacement

I just bought two 17-8.5 +56 wheels for the front of my 1998 coupe and two 18-9.5 +57 wheels for the rear.

Will my P245/45ZR17 front tires and P275/40ZR18 rear tires be able to move from the current "wagon" wheels to my new wheels?

Thanks

They will fit since the tires and wheels are stock factory specs except for the offsets as pointed out by 8VETTE7.

Yes, but I'd check the date codes on them. If they're old, I'd suggest getting new tires for the new wheels.
