You can get these wheels to fit ;) Its all in the tyres. I am running 15's and they fit (just) with 45 series tyres, but in hindsight I should have opted for 16's as you can get a 35 series and get the total diameter of wheel and tyre around the 50cm mark. I rekon 51-53 cms is the max diameter you can go without having to modify anything.

Here are mine at 55.5cms rolling diameter.

I'm not so sure- they look very much like Lancia Beta HPE wheels which are a 4x98 stud pattern and actually a 14" wheel. Some of these have very high magnesium content and are ultra light- used to be quite sought after amongst the Alfa / Fiat racing guys a few years ago. I would suggest rechecking with the seller as they could be more suitable than you think....

Here is a pic of what I think they are... http://escapetotheseventies.com/70s-cars/lancia-beta-hpe/
