How low is your car? A zero offset on a low car usually takes spacers and alot of camber work to tuck them correctly so the tires dont stick out 3 inches from the fender. That being said it eats up tires three times as quickly too. Just for a reference stock wheels have a +45 offset and are only 6" wide. Your looking at a 0 offset and 8" wide which with a rough estimate makes for a 2.5" offset difference PLUS a larger dimeter wheel. I would really do research and look into this well efore trying to attack it.

Stretched tires by definition do not fit. You'll probably need to get your fenders rolled on top of everything else mentioned above. Check the Appearance forums for the many threads regarding this.
I hope this doesn't happen to you because you are choosing form over function.

dam that sucks yea i relly don't hope that happens but my car is at stock height for now so height isn really any issue until i get my coilovers and camber kit but i work at tire discounter performance so tire selection isn't an issue either but i just want to know if they will fit as is and i can roll my fenders later on. also what tire would be best to run these with
