No.

On the other hand, it might work with a 175 width tire and -6 camber.

You currently running a 205 on those 9's? No they don't fit. Your current wheels don't fit. Pretty sure you are just trolling anyways.

Width isn't the problem in this case, offset is. You can go wider but you need a higher offset, something like 9.5" or 10" +50 with a 245 tire would be reasonable.

No point in going wider if you are just going to run a narrower tire. 205/40 is not only way to narrow for a 9 inch wide wheel it it is shorter than stock as well. Like I said your current wheels don't fit at all so making them wider and lower offset won't fit.

I'm going to suggest the following

-Remove front fenders
-Plasma cutter rear fenders
-buy suspension from FOX RACING
-Buy wheels from American Racing or Pro-Comp
-Buy tires from Mickey Thompson

Lol and the worlds first Baja S2000 is born! I can only imagine how slow this car would feel with giant dirt tires and no torque to move them.
