Those tires will prob. rub as mentioned, and give you an very soft ride, a lot of sidewall flex and diminish the handling. I had 195/65/16's (with lowering springs) on my old '85 SPG for a little while, and when hitting corners hard, the car would feel like it was going to tip over and sometimes it would loose grip of the pavement. I switched to 205/55/15's and found a whole new car handling wise....no more loosing grip of the road and no more of that feeling that I was going to tip over...gone all together.I suppose though, if your not at all concerned with responsive handling....try it out.
