Sorry about the HTML crap in my post.
I hate that.

185's fit both the stock steel wheels (stock for this wheel) and the
alloys, but will look funny on the alloys which are far wider.  The
205's will fit the alloys (stock for this wheel) and the steel wheels,
but will push against the stock hubcaps at the bottom as the tire rolls
and rotate the hubcap on the rim, potentially damaging the valve stem
which could lead to catastrophic deflation.

185's = stock steel wheels.

205's = stock alloys.
