They will fit with no problem.  Ride some what harsh and noisey due to
agressive tread patterns used on this size tire.  Why are you looking to use
this size?   I know people that use this tire on thier syncros with great
results for off road applications.  I would not choose this tire if most of
my driving is long high speed trips.  A good touring or performance tire
would be much better.  I run 215/70's.
