it shows me no other 205 tire will fit on the car.
thats not correct at all. or im misunderstanding the site.

 

If you click on the URL I posted it'll show you the original tire size and then a bit further down it'll show the optional tire sizes.

Plus Zero
- 215/55-16
- 225/55-16

As for the 205/55/16s, they will work . . but your speedometer will be about 1 or 2 miles off . . so instead of reading 50mph, it'll read 51 or 52mph, but your actual speed will be slower. The upside is that you'll get a little better handling, acceleration off the line and it can even boost your in-town gas mileage a tad. The reason is that the 205/55s are lighter (1-2lbs) than the 205/60s.

next tires i'm going to buy are eagle gt 215/55R16

 

Size 215/55R16
Load Max. Load Index 93 = 1433lbs (650kg) per tire
Service Rating: Speed Rating “V” = 149mph (240kph) 93V SL
Treadwear: 440
Traction: A A
Weight 26lbs
Width Sect. 8.9"
Dia. 26.3"
Revs Per Mile 795

While not a bad tire . . . it's very heavy. It will give steering response a heavier feel. It will increase your breaking distance. It will slow down your acceleration. Reduce gas mileage. Unless you're really not concerned with these things I'd look at some other tire options.
