It's about a 987, but interesting anyhow:

I run 205/55s on the front and 225/50s on the rear, but on 16 inch wheels.

oo that was a good link.
but back to my Q, will they be too narrow for the back wheels? i mean the narrower the better, but will it fit right?

Tirerack says that size tire will fit a 7 to 8.5 inch wide rim:
