Default Tire question

Ok I have wagon wheels currently but i picked up a used set of 5 spokes for almost nothing. Stock runflats are shot so now that ive refinished them, I need tires so I can swap them out and install my new drilled/ slotted rotors also🤙🏻.
Question is... would there be any issues if i went up a size ?
Meaning 245/50/17 front
And 275/45/18 on rear? Ir maybe even 50 on rear
Im wanting to fill the gap a little without having to lower my car.
I dont track, just drive a couple times a week with some spirited driving.
Thanks

You can fit 265/40/17 on the front and 295/35/18 on the rears using the stock size wheels. I have been thinking about going with these for my '04 when the time comes.
