Im pretty sure they would still work. But I think its at its limit. I have seen 215's 235's 245's etc...... the important part is they were made for a 16inch rim....our wheels are pretty forgiving...

I had a set of 225/55/16 Yokohama's on 16x8 rims on my '96 Z-28 for a while. That size was "approved" for an 8" rim, and is the same OD as the 245/50/16.

A 205/55? That may be a tad narrow for an 8" rim.....
