If the wheels physically fit, the only thing out of whack will be the speedo - you might need to change a cog to get a true reading. The "power button" is just a "hold this gear a bit longer" function in the gearbox that raises the change-up point. Other than that, fire ahead, but I'd say the handling and dynamics will go to pot, same as for every vehicle anyone ever jacked up, ever.
