They should fit, but I believe you will have some rubbing when making sharp turns.

Depends on what your defenition of "fit" is...

They should be fine as long as you know how to drive.
If you're one of those ******* that cranks your steering wheel until the power steering pump whines like it wants to go out then go with something smaller.
