I'm pretty sure tha they will not fit under your fenders, but more important is what the offset is.

You need to know what the offset of the rim is to make sure that it will not hit the frame in the back, or hit the suspension components in the front.

Do your research, it is worth it. Don't rush it, make sure they fit and then buy the wheels you want.
Otherwise you'll end up with wheels that don't fit or you'll have to start messing with spacers, reduced turning radius etc.
(Don't ask me how I know)
