Brand new springs and shocks all around, buy wheels with the correct offset (0 to -15), use 275/25/24 tires, get extended/adjustable rear trailing arms, and use spacers in the rear or get the frame notched (I prefer frame notch).

Qdub gave you the BEST advice right there bruh. Please do your suspension setup first before wheels. My dogs runnin 4's on their SS' are still on 20+ year old suspension parts and have very little issues. Check my youtube page out for tips on redoing your upper/lower lca's(lower control arms), springs, ball joints, bushings, sway bars ect. I'm running "Coil Spring" airbags from Airlift1000 in my rear springs. I'll be running 4's out back but dropped 3". The bags will help keep your SS' rear level and not sag or dip when turning into driveways and stuff. Also look into rolling your rear fender lip. Thats something else you can youtube. I'd have a shop do it if you dont feel comfortable doin that one yourself. look into beefing up your rear if you are gonna try to do burnout or donuts. Big wheels are murder on stock 7.5 rears when you try to do burns or donuts..

My youtube page. I have suspension rebuild vids for my SS and Elco here as well as other "how to" vids. Scroll down on the right side of the page. You will see em in the titles...

Hope this helps bruh. OH! Man please dont trip on these dudes on here about runnin any wheel size over 16 or whatever. You run what YOU want on YOUR ride fam.. Hell if you want 30's on there then do it. Just investigate how to do it the correct way...

So no one has said you have to re gear it to match the bigger wheels?Or bigger brakes to help stop it because of the increase of rotating mass?If you ever see a car go by wot and doing 35mph its not had a gear change is why.

You don't have to do any of that. Upgrading your brakes is a wise decision, but it isn't necessary so long as you have your brake system serviced properly and everything is in good working condition. You don't have to change your gears for bigger wheels either, unless you just want to improve your take off and acceleration.
