Sorry about the HTML crap in my post. I hate that.

185's fit both the stock steel wheels (stock for this wheel) and the alloys, but will look funny on the alloys which are far wider. The 205's will fit the alloys (stock for this wheel) and the steel wheels, but will push against the stock hubcaps at the bottom as the tire rolls and rotate the hubcap on the rim, potentially damaging the valve stem which could lead to catastrophic deflation.

185's = stock steel wheels.

205's = stock alloys.
