Over a rough surface and the dreaded ramps caused by badly finished roadworks my 235/45/19s sometimes bottom out and rub when driven hard. No, there are no worn suspension or steering parts either.
 I would simply try measuring my own with the wheel off and also measuring the space you have with the car weighed down. Once loaded the space available gets smaller and if the wheels are too big they will inevitably rub against the top or front rear and sides of the wheel space in the arch depending on circumstances.
Who would possibly want wheels that would look so out of proportion anyway?
Personall I would not touch them with a bargepole. :y

I can't even find details on tyres of that size, but a rough cals indicates that they'll be way too big diameter. They might fit under the arches, but will be VERY poor handling.

Would depend on offsets too.

20's on an omega is a bit silly though I think  :D

20's will fit on a Omega, most alloy wheel specialist do sell the for the Omega...  but the corect tyre size is essential..  the recommend a tyre size of 225/30/20..  judging by this tyre size the alloys are a 8-8.5x20..  just make sure the offset is correct...

SIMON & jordan681, just for reference can i ask what where the width of the alloys (8/8.5j?) of both front and back sets, as both you seem to have pretty wide rear tyres.

And in the past i struggled to get 8jx19 on the front with 235/35/19. the inner side was touching the suspension strut  :y :y most prob the offset was wrong as they were on a saab...

Tyres that thin on the rim are a joke surely. The ride comfort would be hard at best and a bum cracker at worst. The slightest knock against any objct on the road or kerb would probably knacker the rim itself.
If the tyre cannot adequately cushion the ride then it is passed onto the suspension components themselves to make up the difference. That piuts more starin and them and leads to an early failure.
Tyres like those should be consigned to the rubbish bin and the designers flogged.
Might just as well go back to the old days when it was just a strip of rubber nailed onto a wooden rim.  :D You could also use the wheels off a milk float if you want to be different and really want it to be noticed. ;D ;D ;D ;D
