Duane,
I'm running Kumho Ecsta 712's, 205/55x16 on Fuchs 6x16 rims. Rears just tuck under the fender, ('76, no mods), and I get a little rub on the fronts at full lock, but the car has been lowered a lot.
Don't know if the 205's will fit on 5.5's, but the guys at TireRack will know for sure. If you want more stick at the track, and don't want to go the flares / fats route, you might try a different brand of tire. Kumho's are a great value, ie price vs life vs stick, but you sacrifice stick for tire life. Haven't tried them yet, (gotta burn off the Kumho's first), but my racin' buddies like the Michelin Pilot Sport; roughly same tread pattern, better stick. Hoosiers are quite sticky, but the heat cycle thing is a pain in the a**, and they lose their stick long before they lose their rubber. Good luck!
