If I was Walmart, I wouldnt sell them to you, either. That size is more suitable for a Lumina.
You need a tire that would go on a Lincoln Town car
They not only have to be concerned with their warranties, but with your safety. You can claim all day that you only use it like a car but it wouldnt be the first time if they installed a tire like that and then got sued for big bucks.

And 205 is too narrow, no matter the issues.
ADDED: By that I mean for an economy passenger tire mounted on a truck

Shop around, buy used if you have to.
