Well, with the 205/60-13, they really pooch out from the sides.  I've seen
worse, but I wouldn't want to hit a curb sideways with these (pop the bead).
It also seems to make the car grab and turn when it hits ruts in the road.
I would probably not recommend going as big as 205 on the stock 13" rims...
185 would be better.
