Ray,
Just make sure your offsets are right and that the tires (or larger 
wheels) do not hit the strut tube  Clearance there is very tight wider 
tread or  when going to low profile tires and wider wheels.  Try to keep 
the rolling diameter the same or you will run into wheel arch clearance  
issues.
