205 should fit no problem. I had 205/45/16s and they cleared in the fenders no problem.

First number is width. Second number is percentage of width which represents the height of the sidewall and lastly the final number is rim size for the tire.
Example
205/50r15
205 - Width of the tire is 205mm
50 - 50% of 205 is 102.5mm tall
15 - is the size of the rim that mounts in the tire in inches

Good for tires, but not good if u need to throw in your wheel setup.

I like to use this one: Wheel / tire size calculator / comparer - WWW.RIMSNTIRES.COM
