The only way to really tell you if it's gonna fit is if you put them on your car.
Depends on what type of shoulder the tire has. If it's square, you're probably SOL, if it's round you're maybe good.
Also depends if your rear sags, do you have subs in your trunk?
There's many things to take into consideration to be able to tell if you'll have problems or not, rather then just look at numbers.
