IMO and from 'professional' advice that was given to me, a 205 is too stretched a tyre on an 8j rim, unless you have a particularly wide make (some are wider than others)
215 40 16's on my fez and i'd have the same on my saff

tyre sizes MUST have the same diameter front and rear on a 4x4 otherwise one set will "drag" the other.

lee, are you talking about aftermarket transmission stuff or do you know something about std stuff you're not telling us?
i personally run 215/40/16 i've heard that 225s are a struggle
i DID run 205/45/16 and 205/50/16... they looked shit (and were properly streched to fit!)
