they will fit fine, you can run 305-315 rear and 285-295s or so up front there are tons of tires choices you will have to choose based off your driving style and HP... GL

Would the Traction control become an issue? I have read on here stories about the traction control activating when different size wheels are used. Just wondering.

yes....you can run them...direct bolt on. I don't think the traction control will be an issue...on one car...I have 19/20's...no issues.
