They'll fit the wheelwells but the tires are too tall. Stick to a 245/35 or if not available, go down in width.

Check the diameter and revs/mile for the tire brand you are looking at versus the OEM at 24.7" and 844. Anything above 825 revs will get you pretty damn close to OEM size. Tirerack is a good resource for this info.

My Conti 245/35s (revs/mile 838) are less than half a km per hr difference at 100km/h, so virtually no difference at all.
