as long as the tires fit on the rims then it shouldnt be a problem, on a 10" wheel you'd almost have to run a 255-265-275/45/15 something of that nature.

chances of finding street tires at that size will be nearly impossible.

well a 205 on a 10" rim would leave you with a sidewall sooo stretched it wouldnt be safe at all, matter of fact any tire stretch is not safe, i run 949 racing wheels 15x8 +36 on my 94 coupe with nitto NT01 225/45/15 and they look the same as a 15x6.5 with a 205/50/15 would from the side but much wider. no excesive camber or fender rolling.
