The tyre size is very unlikely to be a problem, you can get the same amount of variation as that between manufacturers.
Note that the above is the technical answer, I don't know what the legalities are in your neck of the woods (ie. I assume such a small change would be allowed). However the fact that you've specified that the new wheels will be chrome ones yet without mentioning anything else about them makes me say ==> be sure those chrome wheels have the same offset as the ones you're replacing.

Should fit anything but really fit nothing! You need the correct centre bore, correct bolt count and PCD combined with correct ET, those are all far more important than tyre size |

If someone trying to sell them to you is telling you this ... run, run away!
As classicswede says, they MUST have all dimensions correct to suit your car. And those dimensions vary from car-to-car and hence wheel-to-wheel. Now it is possible that having 10 holes allows a single wheel size to match two different fitments; but you still need to be sure that offset is correct, centre bore is correct, and that the PCD of one of the sets of 5 holes is correct. Note that the wheels simply bolting on is not a guarantee that they're perfect fitment, if the wheels aren't right then the studs take all the weight of the car - which will work for a while & will seem correct for a while until it doesn't (which can cause anything from nasty vibrations to a wheel falling off at motorway speeds). |
