I'm not sure I would want a 205 on the rear. Maybe a 225. Unless you will be constantly driving on/in snow, the skinny rear tire will make the car trickier to drive in DRY conditions.

For the 986 S, the base wheel was the 7 and 8.5 x 17. The Non S base wheels were 6 and 7 x 16s. If you have the base wheels already, why not try fitting one on the back to make sure it clears the brakes and suspension?
