205s can be squeezed onto 5.5J rims but they're an awful fit - the beading is really strained, particularly so on wires, as they tend to have more flex anyway.

205s are really best suited to rims 6.5J and wider, 7 being the optimum.

A compromise for you would be 195/70s. That said, I realise that it'd be expensive, but I think your car would be perfect on a set of 7Jx16 wheels, not necessarily wires. Have a chat to Beaulieu Tyres, they'd know best.
