As Neo said, tires will fit the car but not the wheels...
According to Pirelli, the minimum wheel width for that size tire is 8.5" They recommend between 8.5 and 10" for the wheel width... I can see going with a half inch out of their spec, but not an inch and a half out of the spec...
Essentially, the tires won't wear well, and could even be dangerous - tires are not made to operate like that...
