Provided the bolt pattern is 4x114.3 and there is enough offset/spoke clearance I see no reason they wouldn't fit.  The rear rotor and caliper are pretty small.  I'd think even a 13" wheel might clear.  Though it's probably not the best performing wheel/tire combo available.

Why don't you try putting them on your car since you have them in your garage...

haha I hope your car is really slammed though, because if it isn't, a 14" rim might look kinda funny. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  Actually, it doesn't matter if you're really low, a 14" rim will probably look a little awkward anyway!
Tires will be cheap, though. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
