The tray, the hold downs and the radiator hoses are different for the 205
width tires.

Subject: Fitting Alloy spare into stock clamshell

I recently swapped my steel wheels for some alloys.  The tires on the
alloys are 205s,
and I was not able to close the clamshell for the spare tire.  Are the
tires too big to fit
or what?  I can build the clamshell down a bit if I have to but I would
rather not.
