the tires are a little larger than you'd like... but, it wouldn't be difficult to fit on...

as for the wheels, you'd have to check the wheel's offset... if its 35 or greater, you can make it fit...

How low your car is going to make a big difference on whether it rubs or not.

What are the offset of those rims? I think they are around ET30, so it should be an OK fit. Going too high will make it rub on the inside with that size tire (I run 245 on the front with ET30, 285 on the rear with ET33... the ET33 is a bit too high of an offset... 31 would be just about right).
