To a certain extent, the answer is "it depends".  Yes, those wheels can 
fit, but you don't end up getting an increase in tire size because the 
added width is generally on the outside of the wheel and the tires 
would end up hitting the fenders.  With typical wheels of that size you 
could run 205/60-15 front and 225/60-15 rear tires.  Wider may require 
some fender trimming.  If you go shorter you can gain some width, but 
be aware that this will change the effective gearing of the car.  For
