Can I ask why you're getting narrow tires? You can comfortably fit 245's in back and 235's up front.

I like the T/As, but agree that a little more rubber on the road would look good, give a better ride and also improve your handling and braking. At least a 65 or 70 series...my .02.

Those widths might be a problem with those 14" rims. However, if you do decide to upgrade then I'd toss those 14s and go to 15" at least. I'm wanting 17" or 18"

With the stock, narrow wheels it probably would be a problem. I have AR Torque Thrusts, though.

Those chrome GT rims should fit at least a 225/60 or possibly squeeze in the 235/60 tires. I've got the 205/75's on my coupe and it feels like I'm going to tip over every time I need to turn. The fastback has 235's all around and it feels much safer. The BF Goodrich T/A's have been good tires for me.
