What you need to do is go to the tire specs page for those Blizzaks and see what the actual physical dimensions are. Tires vary in size, even within a spec size. Width and OD are what you're concerned with. Once you have those numbers, compare them with the same dimensions for the Pilot HX or whatever the high-perf non-directional tread pattern Michelin of the day is. Remember to divide the difference between the two numbers by two to get the change on the inside, etc. of the tire. For comparisons' sake, I'm running 205/55/16 ContiSport2's on my '95 SET and they fit with no rubbing.
To repeat, a 205/60-16 in brand x is not necc. the same size as 205/60/16 in brand y. Be aware that 205/60's are going to be much taller (look at the revs/mile number, so your speedo will read low. Mine is ~6% low with the Contis, which makes my indicated safe 72 actually 75-76, right in ticket territory.
