Plus Sizing Tires

Hi,
I have a 1999 base convertible with 195/60/15 tires. When I replaced the tires on my 1996 900S convertible, I plus sized to 205/55/15 with no problem, but some tire dealers are telling me I cannot do the same on my 93. They mention something about the ABS system, but the cars are so similar, I wonder why it would be okay on one car and not the other. It is very hard to find V-rated tires in the OE size. I am not in the market for larger wheels - at least yet - so can anyone tell me whether or not I can go with 205/55's on the 93? If not, why not? If I absolutely cannot do it, I guess I will wait a few months and go with 16 inch wheels.
Thanks!
Bill
