the wheels are designed for 185 tyres. 205's will be able to be fitted, but its your decision wether you think that'll be safe or not.

I honestly don't think you'll make them fit without rubbing, if you do it will be a stupid amount of cutting.

 

With 205/50/15 it rubbed like mad using these arches:

they should be 205 60 15, so 205 55 15" will be fine.
