Acording to the Tire Rack those tires need a 7.5 inch to 9 inch wheel with 8 inch being recommended. No it would not fit, and wouldn't be safe, and would have poor traction due to bowing in the side walls.
Actually, the sidewall height has a lot to do with how wide a tire you can run. Bigger sidewalls will allow a wider tire to be used with a given rim. So 245 tires might fit on some 7 inch wheels, but not a 40 series. You should probably look at running a 225/45.
