they'll fit, but the tire size is a little weird... your speedo will be 4% too fast http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp<--- use this to find the best tire size

tires are too small, and I'd pick a different wheel...

DEFINATELY go with the 45's they look WAYYYY meaner, ride better, last longer.... Just get the 45's. You'll be MUCH happier. As for the wheel, my friend has those exact wheels on his car, and he's happy with them except for the fact that they weigh a lot... I mean A LOT!!! I don't remember exactly how much, except that they are well over 20 pounds. That will have a much larger impact on acceleration and gas mileage than having a bunch of extra stereo equiptment or a fat person in the car... The wheel looks ok besides it's flatish face (no curves really, but just my opinion) but when it might not be the best choice for performance if that's what you're looking for... If not then go for it!
