Bugger, wrote some out then deleted it..
basically may catch (inside arch/susp etc) as its a pretty high offset, not sure really so add your dimensions of the original wheels and the new ones into the offset calculators online and see how much extra its going to sit in, then go measure while the original wheel is fitted to see if it will foul anything?
Is it the cheap alloys off alloywheels.com by any chance?
Oh and the 205's on the 8j are a little narrow, they will fit fine trust me i used to run over stretched tyres all day everyday but on a 4x4 its no good to go too narrow (any offroading?) 215+ would be better but i think 205's will get away with it.
failing that, buy and try... if its a failure just add some spacers
