If one wants to avoid the issue that Dick is mentioning, you could install lower profile tires (say 225/60R-15 which has even smaller diameter than the 205/75, improving acceleration). However, those tires are more expensive, and they may not be a perfect match for a car with soft suspension. They should be able to cope with the weight though.
