The wheels you got being et 40 will mean the wheel sits further into the arch, so if you want the same look as you old wheel then you need to use a 5mm spacer, however if cause they are different sizes you best just to put them on and check clearances around the wheel as 5mm may bring them out to far and start buffing on the arches, hope this helps!

You may very well find the 205 tyres cause you grief as well. You'd do better with 195/40/16's
