Thanks all for the replies.

needforspeed, do the rims on your rear tires stick out a bit from the tire?

I spoke with Tire Rack to double check the wheel specs and also brought it by a couple of local shops. Everyone seemed to think it was OK. The specs for the Blizzaks do specify they can handle up to 11" wheels, so my feeling is it's not ideal, but it'll work.

As long as they're safe, I'm OK with it... although with the rim sticking out past the tire (and obviously no rim guard), I'm going to have to be very careful about parking!
