   Yes you can fit them with out any scraping or modifications... But if your gunner fit 16's your best off with 195/40/16 tyres...

   my saxo rebbed over speed bumps with my old 16's on , when i got the ones im using now they dont, so its just depends on the size on the tires... i can have 5 up and still be ok on full lock oer bumps etc.

   as said mate, try and get a 40 profile tyre, then you should be fine if you buy the correct offset
