Evan,

The rims will fit your car, but why would you want WIDER snows?
More than one lister has found that wide snows don't work so well. 
If you're on coastal Maine for the winter, I'd be thinking smaller snows,
like 205/55-16's, which BTW won't work on 8" rims. (widest, according
to TireRack's website for a 205 is 7.5").   If, OTOH, all you have to do
in the Winter in Maine is shlep back and forth to the store, so you can
go slow, then these rims would be perfect. 

LL - NY (somewhat familiar what coastal NE winters are (were?) like)
