They should fit. But the big question is, will they
stay on in a hard turn or over a bad pothole? Maybe
not.
Manufacturer specs show they require 5.5" minimum
width rims.
BF GOODRICH T/A
Sumitomo HTR4 
are both 205/60R13 and 5.5-7.5" recommended rim width.
More importantly, they are 8.1" at the bulge and may
cause scraping (on the frame) in very tight turns.
