Any problems using different size wheels?

I have some old Racing Heart C-type wheels, 8.5x18 and 10x18 with some rubber on them. I was considering putting them on the C6, and smoke the old rubber up for fun. Any problems with using these wheels?

The car was designed and tested with the wheels that come with it. Whenever any different wheel is used it may affect steering components, suspension, handling, braking, etc.

Car companies have denied warranty coverage on these parts if the different wheel has caused the problem.

my ex moved out yesterday, I'm going to sell alot of junk she left behind, and clear out the garage. I had those wheels/tires in there, I might sell them too, might keep em for fun, don't know yet. My goal is to order the C6 by Halloween, and be driving it before Christmas.
