The 205 tires may cause problems. You might be able to fix the rubbing in
the rear by folding up the flat inner lip inside the wheel openings. In the
front, there may be rubbing in the turns, as the edge of the tire gets too
close to the firewall. One reason this often happens is that as the cars
are driven over the years, the inner lower a arms are pushed back along the
rubber bushings, moving the tires a bit farther back than were they should be,
with the a arm often coming to rest directly against the steel of the bracket.
So make sure your suspension bushings are in good shape, and also check the
backspace of the wheels. Anything more than 4" from the face of the wheel
that mates to the hubs to the outer edge of the rim will likely cause some
interference between the tires and the suspension.
