I haven't put this size on, but I am looking at some snows in this size (I know wider isn't better, but that's my style). I don't see why they wouldn't work. They are only one size wider than the stock 195 tire, so unless your suspension is shot, you should be fine.
I ran my 85 with 195/65's for a long time and only on the harshest of VT frost heaves with a full load would I ever get any rubbing. If you check the tire sizes the 195/65 is actually .3" bigger in overall diameter than the 205/60, and the width difference is negligable.
