For what it's worth - even with stickier 225/60/16's mine would spin the 'tire' endlessly with an open diff. Even with the limited slip and 245's -- first gear blows them off if you mash the gas hard. And if there's anything lose on the road surface at all - second will spin too. And that's with maybe 280-290HP/330-340 lb-ft of torque and 3.73's.

An open diff and 205's or 225's - it won't much matter how sticky they are - the V8 is gonna overwhelm them.
