They're not the best choice. 245/45/16 is really what you want. The 50's will be too tall.

No. 245/45 or 225/50 tires will mount on the stock rims. 245/50 is too tall.

They will fit; they will just be tall. A little tall in the rear is not a problem. However, you may be better off buying some new tires rather than mounting the 450s. I've never owned them, but I don't think those are very good tires from the reports I have seen.
