4.5 and 5?Height of car from the ground.
That doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the tire section width and the room of your fenders. They should fit, but there is always a possibility they won't because there is not enough space under your fenders.
Chris, personally I don't think the ride height has anything to do with it...others will probably disagree.
I have had 4 914s. 3 of which were 4 cylinder using 4 bolt fuchs to mount 205x50 R rated tires.
all have been pretty low like my current car.
One needed no spacers to run the 205s and had no rubbing issues, inside or out.
On need spacers for one side but not the other to keep from rubbing on the inside. So I had to run spacers.
On my current car it is very low and it rubbed quite a bit on one side and just a bit on the other.
I run 1/2 spacers in the rear and 3/4 spacers on the front.. The front is just to get the front track wider, no rubbing issues.
Most R rated 205s are a bit wider than street 205s.
No one can tell if they will fit for sure....your total setup will determine whether they fit or not. They will ultimately fit, but you may need to use spacers and/or roll the fender lips, or possibly even slightly pull the fenders to get them to fit.
If you go to spacers you will need to use wheel studs and lug nuts.
The stock alloy lug bolts are not long enough to engauge the hub properly with spacers.

Should fit, might need some fender lovin to be sure. I have only needed spacers once w/ 205/50's.I think i need to take those for a test ride. Look like alot of fun. The tires look ok too...

Funny, they both look like 10's to me, not a 4 1/2 and a 5.
I think He's using the Clydesdale scale thats how many horses it takes to pull them of your face 
4.5 and 5 would be about right
