Will they fit and not hit the stock rear suspension? Anyone running this combo?

You cant do it, well you could BUT
They will be like rolling on 4 flat tires
The sidewalls will be so huge and floppy it will not be good. I have 245/50/16's on an 8" rim and they seem floppy. I am going to downsize to a 225. You have a 6" rim on the stock 14's and are thinking of running 60 seris, trust me man, it will make the car handle like crap. The biggest tire you should even think about is a 225 on the 6" rim. I am sure you will get a lot of people saying the same thing.

Yeah, 245-60-14 is huge for the stock rims. I would look into a 215 or a 225 at most.

I just got new tires on my car.. Dayton Daytona SR tires. 205/60R14.... Fit nice, look great, and for 278 bucks you can't beat em mounted and balanced.

245-60-14 tires were on the rear of my Fiero when I first bought it. They sucked. The rim isn't really wide enough for the tire so it pulls the edges up, thus wearing out the centers first. The sidewalls just plain bulge out too much. Now 225-60-14 is a great size for the rear. Fits the rim like a glove and works quite well. For the front, I'd go with 205-60-14 which seems to work very well.
