I kind of doubt you'll get that to clear.....it's probably going to rub on the strut...and maybe the fender.

It might fit. Phil had wider tires on his 94 SS.

With stock suspension and 205/55-16s on those wheels I was very close to the rear spring perches. Plenty of room from the fenders though.

There has been plenty of discussion on the subject if you go back a few pages or search.

Should i keep it to 205?

It might fit. I ran 225/50/16 Yokohamas all winter on STi struts/springs. The sidewall was EXTREMELY close to the struts but nothing rubbed.
