205s can look 'bulgy/balloney' on 5.5" rims and may even feel squirmy in corners. mine did. once the new tires are mounted and on the car they become used tires. you're not looking at a whole lot wider tire when compared with 195/60s or 65s which usually have 0 fitment issues.

What are options for wider wheels? I would prefer 15" and "correct," like Pedrini, Fuchs or Mahle.
