Depends on how low your car is and how concerned you are about your fenders. Those wheels aren't going to play nice with stock fenders.

I recommend selling the wheels and get a set that actually fit our cars.

How low are you? Even with a full fender roll I don't think that's going to be enough to run a 245 width tire in the back without rubbing. Might be worth a shot I guess. You could always add a little camber if it doesn't quite work.
