Why not use Reporting Services 2005? You should be able to use.

No.

I've read that if you try to install the 2008 Reporting Services onto a 2005 database, it will give you an error and require an SQL 2008 database to install onto.

You're stuck with 2005, like me.

Well you should install RS 2008 with a SQL 2008 backend, purely for the RS databases. And then point your reports at a SQL 2005 user database.
