As Josh says...

The size would be on the large size for that rim. The tire will fit, but when I look at the tire manufacturer's specification sheets (I looked at Kumho because I had their web address), they specify a 6 inch rim width for that size. I don't know what the SPG's came with for original equipment tire , but I think it was 195/60/15.

If you have your heart set on the wheels, go ahead and try the 205/60 size. If you see a lot wear in the center of the tire, then you would have to cut back to 195/65/15 the next time.
