    I had a friend give me a set of almost new 195-70-r14 and they were close. The 205s will be a little taller. According to the tire calculator the stock size is 23.2 inches tall and the 205-70-14 is 25.3 inches tall and a little over an inch wider. Will be close and sap sone power. Check for yourself

    One guy I know has 70R14s jammed in his EJ8 lowered about 1.5"... they rub a little bit but still fit. You can probably get them on but they'll definitely make contact in turns and over bumps.

    according to the tire calculator they aren't that much bigger, no where near a balloon tire
