Why wouldn't they fit?

This is the stock size for the '91 9KT 5-door. Actually, the 'Stones have a slightly smaller footprint than most tires of this size, according to the Tire Rack, which is why the 225's available *might* fit the 9K. Only trying will tell, but that's a big gamble. What happens if they don't fit?
But that's moot now, as there are no more 205's--only the two sizes of 225's left. To get the stock size, you'll have to buy the SZ50EP's, which have superceded them, for twice the price (~$145). That's still a bargain for the performance they provide, as they reportedly perform better and last longer than the SZ50's.
Something else to look into is the Kumho 712 in that size, which are around $75 each. Check out the Tire Rack's survey for ultra-high-performance tires, where they are ranked #3 the last time I looked. I would bet they aren't the equal of the 'Stones, but the price is certainly on target!
