Not sure it would even be that noticeable. When I had the stock 3.45s, my real gear was about a 3.30.

Yep. In your case, Dom, the bigger wheels/diameter would affect the ratios us mortal Z drivers are discussing. It is very easy to factor for your app by d1/d2 x R 1*
*where d1 is the distance your new (bigger) wheels cover in one revolution vs. d2 the distance the stock 17" wheel/tire size covers in one revolution, and R1 being the stock 3.45 ratio.
