Right.

The way to go is first discuss this case with the actual printer who’s going
to output this job.

Depending on the equipment used, specs may (will) vary.

As a general comment, it is more than likely the print shop will need a file
proportionnally reduced (they should be able to tell you the percentage).
The file will be much more easy to handle. The images will have to follow
the resolution specs to ensure image quality when enlarged.
