Take a 225/50-16 tire, for example. Multiply the tire width (225) by the aspect ratio (.50). The result (in this case, 112.5) is the height of the tire from tread to bead. Any substitute tires should have approximately this same height.
The tires pitched to Adam: 205 x .55 = 112.75, a very close match.
The next size down if you wanted to go even narrower would be 195/55-16 or 195/60-16, which are either a little taller or a little shorter. This will affect your speedometer somewhat, and may be too narrow for the wheel (I forget the width of the stock SVX wheel, but 195mm is approximately 7.8 inches).
