It wont melt my wires and make my car go on fire, would it just make them blow out faster or something?

The wiring harness was not designed to handle 85 watts. You may experience failures with the harness (including nearby wires, not just wires to light) later on down the line (if your fuses don't blow out right away) because they will be running hotter than designed. Also external temperature of the lights will be hotter than the housing was designed for. Not to mention the fact that these lights are probably not street legal.
But hey, it's your car .

I wouldn't recommend it. You're going to produce 60% more power than what the housing is designed for. You'll also be producing 150% more heat due to current in your wires.
I wouldn't do it, but it's your car.
